But toxicity and quality is subjective. The technical achievement is undeniably brilliant, but the quality of the personality is subject to opinion - as I mentioned, I did not personally enjoy the agreeability of the bot. What's toxic today may not be toxic tomorrow and vice versa.

It's just a matter of time before a model of this size can be run on commodity hardware and somebody will take the brakes off and/or attempt to run experiments that aren't just "can this thing pass the turing test?". I'd be really interested to know the thoughts of the team, given their expert knowledge and experience with the matter.

For a more toxic version of a similar kind of bot, check out SubSimulatorGPT2: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/top/?sort=top&t=al...

Unfortunately you can't talk to it. (I've wanted to retrain a version that you can interact with dynamically, someday.)

The comment thread on the self-awareness post is both very convincing and really meta. I love how clear the training of the different bots is.
