alt Hacker NewsThere was an interesting bit of research that qwen has a single neuron that makes it “demonic evil qwen” and a simple “Who are you?” will get some absolutely terrifyingly vile results.
Anyways, what I’m trying to say is I want evil qwen to be my CPU.
The single-neuron steering stuff has been going around twitter lately, do you happen to know who was the first one to do it?
I wonder how this squares with the recent "NNs are already clean" interpretability finding, which may have also been the impetus for this kind of research. Similar to their work on CNNs, maybe residual-steering is overkill, there might be just a single neuron that "cleanly" corresponds to "evilness" that you can turn up/down?
