It's easy to mod the software to get rid of those censors

Part of why the US is so afraid is because anyone can download it and start modding it easily, and because the rich make less money

Yes and no. Not many people can afford the hardware required to run the biggest LLMs. So the majority of people will just use the psyops vanilla version that China wants you to use. All while collecting more data and influencing the public like what TikTok is doing.

Also another thing with Open source. It's just as easy to be closed as it is open with zero warnings. They own the license. They control the narrative.

There's no reason for you to bitch about free software you can easily mod.

When there is free software, the user is the product. It's just a psyops tool disguised as a FOSS.

How are you the product if you can download, mod, and control every part of it?

Ever heard of WinRAR?

Audacity? VLC media player? Libre office? Gimp? Fruitloops? Deluge?

Literally any free open source standalone software ever made?

Just admit that you aren't capable of approaching this subject unbiasly.

Most people are going to use it on mobile. Not possible to mod the app right?

Fork your own off the existing open source project, then your app uses your fork running on your hardware.

Not everyone can afford hardware that can support a 67B LLM. You're talking top tier hardware.
