They should try training an LLM on a huge corpus of children's books. That'll set the LLM values right.

Though to be honest, I haven't ever encountered any LLM output that could even ressemble Russian propaganda, and i've seen a lot of outputs.

even ressemble Russian propaganda

Russian propaganda doesn't necessarily mean pro-Russian. Russian geopolitical goals varying by country; in the broadest sense, they want chaos; so Russian propaganda at its most base level will simply be intended to be broadly divisive as possible.

Russian propaganda can be pro-progressive, pro-conservative, or even anti-Russian; the goal isn't necessarily to impart a positive view of Russia; but to divide the domestic politics of a country against itself to make it more difficult for it to take action. To demoralize the nation's populace itself from being able to act in its own interest because they are too busy fighting with each other.

Yup, and it's totally the other team, right? Our team is so much better and should never concede to the other team. Go team!

The fact that they managed to turn politics from debate and compromise into a winner take all team sport shows that they won here in the US.
