hey,
I've been recently going down a rabbit hole in terms of 4chan history. I am wondering if there are any archives of 4chan, regardless of image availability, out there.
Thanks!

#3It seems like it wouldn't be hard to train a model on this era of 4chan and create a simulacrum. Posts would happen at a certain frequency with all the users being simulated. I wonder if you could even allow user posts and have the model reply in a realistic way (bullying and all)?

I don't have the link handy but I do remember reading about an LLM project trained on 4chan.

my comment was pure substance
