Except it does matter. Because Chinese companies are forced to train their LLMs for ideological conformance - and within an LLM, everything is entangled with everything. Every bit of training you do has on-target effects - and off-target effects too, related but often unpredictable. If you train an LLM to act like a CCP-approved Chinese nationalist in some contexts (i.e. pointed questions about certain events in Tiananmen Square or the status of Taiwan), it may also start to act a little bit like a CCP-approved Chinese nationalist in other contexts. Now, what would a CCP-approved Chinese nationalist do if he was developing a web app for a movement banned in China? LLMs know enough to be able to generalize this kind of behavior - not always, but often. |
