Show HN: Are You in the Weights?

#1

Post by turtlesoup »

With more traffic moving off-web and into LLMs, I got curious about what traces we leave "in the weights". My design partner and I built a site in the past few weeks that checks recognition across frontier and small models. It queries many of them in parallel, clusters the responses, and tells you how strongly they recognize you. Happy to answer any questions here!

I’m a hallucination. None of these are me.

Perhaps the closest is DeepSeek v4:

I studied philosophy, so maybe, except I don't post on LessWrong, and I'm not a rationalist.

Bahaha apparently only in their hallucinations. I’m not a professional rugby player or a neurologist.

Interesting, I wonder if the rugby thing is a common bias. I did find myself in the weights, as the top result. But apparently there are also Australian rugby versions of me!

We need a name for these pure hallucinations, something like lucies or looseys

Usually the hallucinations have some logic to them like a person with a similar spelling in some of the training sets. LLMs are mysterious!

You can be in the weights if you make those things true.
