    Watch all the AI companies scramble to comply in a quest for government contracts. This will affect everyone who uses American LLMs and generative AI.

    It should also open an opportunity for international competition from less censored models.

      And this is one of the best arguments against depending on LLMs. People are outsourcing their thinking to linear algebra machines owned by the wealthy. LLMs are a tool of social control.

      Considering how much they bleed cash regularly, I can see them jumping on the government contract bandwagon quickly.

      To be fair to the executive order (ugh) many of the examples cited are due to well intentioned system prompts that encourage the LLM to actively be diverse.

      The example of a female pope or whatever (read this earlier) is an example of that.

      Generally speaking the LLMs have left-bias because they’re trained on information unlike conservatives, but they aren’t necessarily asking the models to be censored
