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.

What is "the charged word"? I don't know who Karoline Leavitt is, do they mean a specific word ("deportation"?) or just different words when they gave it sentences?

Not even the most unleashed models can utter the words of today’s politicians, I don’t know if this says more about the current technology or the people in charge.

My favorite Hacker News comment in a while!

  • Could you break it down for someone who isnt in the know?

    • “We used LLM technology, which is great at parroting content, to attempt to predict what the US president’s spokesperson would say at their next conference.

      We used that as input for ~gambling~ purchasing a position on a prediction market, which has been popularized recently in part due to its ability to circumvent gambling regulations.

      However, even the LLM couldn’t parrot the words of the spokesperson. The implication is that the spokesperson speaks so outrageously that even an uncensored LLM couldn’t parrot their words.”
