> There are loads of examples on the internet of LLMs pushing (foreign) government narratives e.g. on Israel-Palestine
There isn’t even a single example of that. If an LLM is taking a certain position because it has learned from articles on that topic, that’s different from it being manipulated on purpose to answer differently on that topic. You’re confusing an LLM simply reflecting the complexity out there in the world on some topics (showing up in training data), with government forced censorship and propaganda in DeepSeek.
Fine, whatever. It's actually much more concerning if the overall information landscape has been so curated by censors that a naively-trained LLM comes "pre-censored", as you are asserting. This issue is so "complex" when it comes to one side, and "morally clear" when it comes to the other. Classic doublespeak.
That's far more dystopian than a post-hoc "guardrailed" model (that you can run locally without guardrails).

The two aren’t the same, not even remotely close.
