Murray Rothbard speaking at the 1981 National Libertarian Party Convention. This is an excerpt from the Q & A session where he answers a question about his r...Conza (YouTube)
DeepSeek R1's censorship of politically sensitive topics has been removed by Multiverse Computing, a company in Spain that does both AI and quantum computing. I don't know why both of those would be in the same company.
"Our software is based on quantum-inspired tensor networks, which allows us to identify and remove the least important parameters that contribute little to the model's overall performance. Additionally, it allows us to isolate and remove weights tied to specific learned behaviors, such as censorship, without degrading the model's core knowledge."
Alrighty then. The company has made a product called CompactifAI, and used it on DeepSeek R1, which makes a smaller version of the model with, they claim, the same accuracy. In the process, they removed the censorship, which they claim was instilled into the model in the first place by fine-tuning after the standard pre-trained model was produced. Was the fine-tuning in a specific layer that could be removed? How does one remove fine-tuning from a model? They don't give any indication.
"Beyond DeepSeek R1's sheer size and hardware requirements, the model's baked-in political censorship presents significant drawbacks. Developed in China, the model evades questions on sensitive topics like Tiananmen Square and Taiwan, while promoting a state-approved narrative on history and global politics. This censorship makes the model fundamentally unreliable and unsuitable for journalism, research, or any application requiring objective, comprehensive information."
They give an example with a question about Xi Jinping's constitutional amendment to remove term limits.
