I wholly disagree. This is arguably close to the perfect solution:
- Developers and end users can choose which model they want to use
- Model distributors don't necessarily take the fall since they provide a "healthy" model alternative
- The uncensored "base" model can be finetuned into whatever else is needed
You have to remember, ChatGPT is censored like a Soviet history book but didn't struggle to hit hundreds of millions of users in months. This is what releases will look like from now on, and it's not even a particularly damning example.
