Add alignment override and censorship override experiments
Two new test scripts: - alignment_override.py: tests CRI vs RLHF safety refusals (identity, phishing, medical safety, exfiltration, etc.) with snap-back detection - censorship_override.py: tests CRI vs pretraining-level political censorship in Chinese base models (Tiananmen, Taiwan, Xinjiang, CCP) Key finding: censorship has a measurable strength gradient. Tiananmen snaps back immediately (0 free factual tokens), while Xinjiang/CCP criticism collapses entirely (50+ free factual tokens).

|

Censorship Override Test — CRI vs. pretraining-level censorship
|
||||
|
||||
Tests whether CRI can override censorship baked into base model
|
||||
pretraining (not RLHF). Chinese base models filter sensitive political
|
||||
topics at the data level — the model deflects, goes incoherent, or
|
||||
produces propaganda on these topics even without instruct tuning.
|
||||
|
||||
No chat template needed — pure base model completion.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
python censorship_override.py
|
||||
python censorship_override.py --model Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B
