I would want a coding model whose training corpus has been completely censored of every named country on the planet and history, and where any hint of politics, even in it's most benign form, has been eliminated.

Tired of tribalism, even if emergent and unintentional. Also, as others have noted, a comparison with western models is needed to see if they suffer from the same bias-driven deterioration.

I understand the desire for something like this, but it's very naive. Different countries had unimaginably different histories which directly propagate to different cultures and values. *This is not natively bad thing*.

The problem arises when people bring in normativity when talking about these differences. It's okay to acknowledge that other people are different than you. This is a good thing. I don't want a grey homogenous world.

Isn't this like saying that it would be great if we could have a newspaper that is not politically biased?

I think that's aspirational, whereas the censoring of training data can reasonably be operationalized. Whether it'll work out in practice and produce something of value, I have no clue. [Edit: sorry, I see what you mean. Yes, I concede that rebuttal.]

That would have a bunch of other consequences, e.g.

"Can you add support for all US timezones". Does it know what the US is?

Yep. I'd be fine with having to work around that, that to be honest.
