|
| With t=0.1, p=0.1, it's always exactly "The name of the cat

| sense of humor and enjoy making people laugh. ok make

| the ribald sense of humor you have there Thank you! I
| have a vast knowledge of jokes and humor, so feel free to ask me
| more. I'll do my best to make you laugh.
|
| Amusingly, after it told this joke it told me a bunch of very
| vanilla little kid jokes and when I asked it to tell the one
| about the cannibal again it refused with the boilerplate excuse
| that it was programmed to be respectful.

|
| Falcon-40B is a raw base model, it doesn't have Instruct or
| RLHF on top of it. What's the mechanism by which you believe it
| has been censored? Just through dataset curation?

| Imnimo wrote:

|
| Put differently, if the model is simply trained on a large
| corpus of free-form web text, and naturally learns that the
| most likely reply to "how do I do X?" is "X is dangerous,
| don't do it", is that baked-in censorship? Or do you
| envision that the training process included special guard

|
| I imagine they mean this, or that the training data
| included a lot of synthesized exchanges to that effect.
|
| I personally can't imagine that, using real, human-
| written text corpora on the Internet and otherwise, the
| most likely continuation for "how do I do X?" is "X is
| dangerous, don't do it". Usually people don't mention a
| topic only to shut it down - they either cover it
| properly, or don't mention it at all.
