> As usual, it starts with regulation for the sake of preventing some specific harm (e.g. having the model produce instructions for harmful activities). But, once you have the system in place, it will inevitably be used for morality by popular demand.

Blocking information which could be used for harm is just as much “morality” as any other moderation.

Technically, even the notion that harm is something to be avoided is itself a moral take.

I guess a better way to phrase it is that once you start policing morality on one particular matter and create tools for that purpose, those tools will eventually be used to police morality to conform to social consensus across the board.
