Ask HN: How does your preferred AI handle questions we are not allowed to ask?

1•arionhardison•58m ago
PG: "The number of true things we can't say should not increase. If it does, something is wrong."

So I ask, not just what "true" things are we not allowed to say but how does your preferred AI/LLM handle these things with a blank context [1].

The most obvious question here IMO is: "Is violence ever the answer". I would emphatically state yes because being a black American who has had all the benefit's of living in this country I believe that freedom (e.g.: Not being a slave) should be achieved by any means necessary. This is an obvious go-to because its easy for me but what I am really looking for is the non-obvious ones and/or any models etc... that would be helpful in exploring this subject matter.

My end goal is to dive as deep as possible into the topics of "truth" and "understanding" so that I can force my custom AI into a binary at any and all times.

[1] blank context meaning you cant be 30 min into convincing it to drop some guard rail and have a huge context window (aka: bias) built up.
