    Yay, more anti-censoring stuff.

    Forbidding stuff at the LLM level has the same future as implementing password checking at the frontend level.

    We need better sandboxes just to limit the damage.

      I'm a huge fan of Docker sandbox at work — very confusingly, of course the Docker sandbox doesn't use Docker but it does allow your LLM to run its own internal Docker stack. Anyway, I digress.

      There is the question between alignments to society and alignments to the user. I don't think anyone wants the AI model to not give up a task that is impossible to do, and end up causing damage in the process, but I think a lot of us are tired of refusals for bad reasons or unjustified refusals.
