Well, since they’re open models, that’s easy to fix. And has been.

Not to speak of finetunes that will do unspeakable things. It is not cost prohibitive or hard.
You want to decensor “Open”AI though? Tough. They don’t even offer completion endpoints anymore!
In other words, people shouldn’t and don’t have to use official Chinese releases if there is even the slightest concern of political censorship.
