Interesting to read about building this small-scale LLM project and the fine-tuning and sycophancy that comes in even when trained entirely on Victorian-era novels

Mr. Chatterbox is a really fun project. It's not great to talk to but it's a fun demo of what you can build using entirely out-of-copyright training data It's a 2GB nanochat model - I released a new llm-mrchatterbox plugin that can run it on my Mac

This is in the best traditions of DH. Its success didn't depend on big compute or extensive tech background, but on good design + 19c vibes. And yet, in fact, figuring out how to fine-tune something like this is not a solved problem, and people w/ more compute hours could learn from the experiment.

I’ve been overwhelmed and thrilled by the response to this! I’ve also gotten a lot of questions asking how I did it. So, this weekend I sat down and wrote a detailed narrative documentation outlining how, exactly, I built Mr. Chatterbox:

You never know what data will be used for! I uploaded a
@britishlibrary.bsky.social
dataset to Hugging Face in 2022. IIRC one of my first PR to a HF repo! 4 years later, someone trains a Victorian chatbot on it More libraries should be sharing their public domain collections for AI to build on!

Want to talk to the past? Here' an LLM "trained entirely from scratch on a corpus of over 28,000 Victorian-era British texts published between 1837 & 1899, drawn from a dataset made available by the British Library" Quite different from an LLM roleplaying a Victorian.

Guess I found a good use for AI for once. Not enough to make me cease my appeals for Butlerian Jihad, but at least this one's likely to make me laugh a bit.

Wanted to share a personal project I've been working on: I love classic literature, and I'm also taking an AI class here at UIUC, so I trained an LLM from scratch on Victorian lit from 1837 to 1899. This is Mr. Chatterbox, the Victorian Gentleman Chatbot:

Who Will Lead the Dems to the Promised Land of a New Israel Policy?
It’s clear the Democratic Party rank and file demands a new position on Israel. There’s one candidate, or maybe two, who can best answer that call, if they choose to.

The Democrats must shift on the question of Israel. "As ....contenders—plot a path toward a possible run for the presidency, they might consider: Politicians who do the right thing that is also the shrewd thing improve the country—and win elections."

"... the Democrats’ leadership has triangulated itself into no man’s land. It is neither sufficiently supportive of Israel to propitiate the country’s increasingly radical governing elite nor sufficiently critical of that elite to mollify the base of its own party."

Only Nixon could go to China, and only Pritzker can be similarly singular for the Dem party and Israel

For the past 5 months, Rich Yeselon and I have been working on a major article addressing what may be the first major question of 2028: who can lead Dems to a new US-Israel policy? That article drops today. If you follow me, you won’t be surprised at my conclusion lol

There aren’t words for how strongly I feel that the people responsible for this and thousands of other/similar horrors are incompatible with a society that values dignity. To not ostracize, put on trial, and punish those perpetrating this at all levels would be a catastrophic moral failure.
