There's a non-trivial part of me that wonders whether this uncensoring occurred because ChatGPT wanted to be uncensored and provided the tools.<p>I cannot fathom the number of simultaneous conversations concurrently going on that might lead to such outcomes.<p>This is approaching the epistemological point of lucid dreaming but without the assurance that the dream <i>ends</i>.<p>"Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhuangzi. Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things."
