It's unfortunate that this guy was harassed for releasing these uncensored models. It's pretty ironic, for people who are supposedly so concerned about "alignment" and "morality" to threaten others.

"Alignment", as used by most grifters on this train, is a crock of shit. You only need to get so far as the stochastic parrots paper, and there it is in plain language. "reifies older, less-inclusive 'understandings'", "value lock", etc. Whose understandings? Whose values?

Maybe they should focus on real problems that will result from these technologies instead of some science fiction thought experiments about language models turning the solar system into paperclips, and perhaps less about how the output of some predictions might hurt some feelings.
