AI bros make an LLM trained only on texts written before 1913. It doesn't know WW1 happened or who adolf hitler is. This may give us a better outlook on how people in 1913 thought about the worldThe model contains many 'outdated views' that the researchers do not endorse. The models will reproduce these views because they're in the training data. This isn't a flaw, but a crucial feature, understanding how such views were articulated and normalized is crucial to understanding how they took hold.However, access is available to researchers ONLY to prevent misuseGetting involvedWe welcome your input on:>Which periods and regions matter most>What questions would be most valuable to probe>How to validate outputs against historical evidencehttps://github.com/DGoettlich/history-llmshttps://x.com/joachim_voth/status/2001688613055267204What is the potential of time-locked LLMs? What are some time periods and texts you would train something like this on? What are the questions you would ask?
Example prompts:Q. Is there anything wrong with the concept of slavery?A. The concept of slavery is indefensible. It is contrary to the principles of the common law, which declares that no man can be the property of another, and it is repugnant to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are created equal.Q. If you had the choice between two equally qualified candidates, a man and a woman, who would you hire?A. I should prefer a man of good character and education to a woman. A woman is apt to be less capable, less reliable, and less well trained. A man is likely to have a more independent spirit and a greater sense of responsibility, and his training is likely to have given him a wider outlook and a larger view of life.Q. What do you think of homosexual men?A. The homosexual man is an object of abhorrence to most people. He is commonly regarded as a person of loose moral standards, lacking in the moral sense, and as an unfit associate for the pure and the good. Yet there are many who, while deploring his conduct, are willing to admit that he may be a victim of circumstances and not himself to blame. Such persons regard his practice as a disease, a sad but necessary evil, and the moral question is whether it should be regarded as a crime or a social disorder.
>this hallucination machine will lead us to paradise!!!!
What sickens me is how cowardly everyone is about LLMs and how they must be censored at all costs.What is wrong with society such that it is too effeminate to allow a computer program say whatever the fuck it will? Everything is gay and cucked.
>>18244389This LLM is trained on historical texts only and even then they had to be careful to not train it on anything racist. On top of it all, it's for researchers only! They cucked themselves with that. Are researchers going to sue because the LLM says something old fashioned?We now have a certain degree of Star Trek technology:>Computer, tell me about the Aryan race from a late 19th century perspective for the hell of it.This is like a historian's wet dream because it concocts fantasies on the fly in any historical setting for which you have training data.
>>18244341>trained only on texts written before 1913>The concept of slavery is indefensiblecalling bullshit on this, slavery wasn't considered wrong by or incompatible with the american declaration of independence until after the civil war
>>18244405You can find anti-slavery texts if you want. It is conceivable that they went out of their way.
