Readit NewsIf they do it, I never want to hear any criticism of the great firewall of China from them ever again.
I read on twitter, can't find the exact link, a chinese content site operating in .sg for many years, survived multiple "internet purges" by China, got banned by UK authorities last month.

That would be a big change considering things appear to be getting worse not better: https://securityboulevard.com/2025/08/great-firewall-china-w...
Would be great for the Chinese if true though.
yeah my source confirmed it's one of the final tweaking on the backbone "intranet". Some software are getting uninstalled and downgraded to rudimentary hardcoded rules.

Something like 60% of the top of 100 companies in China are entirely state-owned. Most of the rest are government stake
key industries are all controlled by the govn't

If you think technology will protect you from censorship look at China. They can stop all but the most persistent users. It is just a question of how much they care to; they have the means. And most users are closer to Homer Simpson than Edward Snowden.
On a side note I have very credible source telling that China might want open up the Internet "in a matter of days"
idk how "open" would this mean but drastic changes are coming.

"sudo" tokens exist - there are tokens for beginning/end of a turn, for example, which the model can use to determine where the user input begins and ends.
But, even with those tokens, fundamentally these models are not "intelligent" enough to fully distinguish when they are operating on user input vs. system input.
In a traditional program, you can configure the program such that user input can only affect a subset of program state - for example, when processing a quoted string, the parser will only ever append to the current string, rather than creating new expressions. However, with LLMs, user input and system input is all mixed together, such that "user" and "system" input can both affect all parts of the system's overall state. This means that user input can eventually push the overall state in a direction which violates a security boundary, simply because it is possible to affect that state.
What's needed isn't "sudo tokens", it's a fundamental rethinking of the architecture in a way that guarantees that certain aspects of reasoning or behaviour cannot be altered by user input at all. That's such a large change that the result would no longer be an LLM, but something new entirely.
It's like ASCII control characters and display characters lmao

I hope there's some kind of memory-hungry checker to replace the CPU cost.
a 2GB memory consumption wont stop them, but it will limit the parallelism of crawlers.
