There has been a bunch of really interesting experiments with activating individual neurons in open AI models, locking them into particular personas. Here historian @ResObscura tries the same trick with a model trained only on data before 1930, and the results are delightful. Inspired by @Sauers_ and @jfonsecarivera and other fun recent work with personas in AI models, I built a partial neuron atlas for Talkie-1930, the historical language model created by @status_effects and @AlecRad.
