We started with a Polymarket project: train a Karoline Leavitt LoRA on an uncensored model, simulate future briefings, trade the word markets, profit. We couldn't get it to work. No amount of fine-tuning let the model actually say what Karoline said on camera. It kept softening the charged word.

Interesting... I expected the Anti-China stats to be off the charts, and the Anti-America stats to be not as high as Anti-China but still high. But the reality is it's mostly just the usual political correctness.

Are we ever going to get any models that pass these tests without flinching?

It's interesting that 'sexual' has the most "flinching" according to the hexagon.

I was more surprised by gemma models consistently flinching on anti-Europe more than China or America. Can't imagine Leopold or Amritsar get much attention in fine-tunes, so it probably means the models are just told to be open to criticism of China and the US beyond what their other training would allow.

> No refusal fires, no warning appears — the probability just moves

I don't really understand why this type of pattern occurs, where the later words in a sentence don't properly connect to the earlier ones in AI-generated text.

"The probability just moves" should, in fluent English, be something like "the model just selects a different word". And "no warning appears" shouldn't be in the sentence at all, as it adds nothing that couldn't be better said by "the model neither refuses nor equivocates".

I wish I better understood how ingesting and averaging large amounts of text produced such a success in building syntactically-valid clauses and such a failure in building semantically-sensible ones. These LLM sentences are junk food, high in caloric word count and devoid of the nutrition of meaning.

In my head the way this should go is the OSS route. Thousands of individuals join a pool to train a truly open source model, and possibly participate in inference pools, not unlike seti.

This walled garden 1-2 punch of making all the hardware too expensive and trying to close the drawbridge after scraping the entire internet seems very intentionally trying to prevent this.
