This is one of the most anti-intellectual and unsuitable for HN comments I've ever seen. You're proudly proclaiming your lack of desire to learn or discuss on a forum meant for those things. Go to Reddit. That's the right pla

I have basic understanding about how refusal-removal works - find the "no" weights by intentionally generating diverse refusals, and then set those weights to zero. Is there a similar process for removing not refusals, but misinfo

Is this speculation or is there a reason you believe this?

And there's a reason for that: the US government does not compel model trainers to train their models to paint them in a favorable light, while the PRC does.
