when the instructions to not do something are the problem or "wrong"

i.e. when the AI company puts guards in to prevent their LLM from talking about elections, there is nothing inherently wrong in talking about elections, but the companies are doing it because of the PR risk in today's media / social environment



From the companies perspective, it’s still wrong.


their basing decisions (at least for my example) on risk profiles, not ethics, right and wrong are not how it's measured

certainly some things are more "wrong" or objectionable like making bombs and dealing with users who are suicidal


No duh, that’s literally what I’m saying. From the companies perspective, it’s still wrong. By that perspective.
