Oh boy. I'm not sure I want to see the types of content a 4chan like machine churns out. I haven't seen that website in over 15 years beyond what makes it out to /r/greentext because I don't like doing paperwork after loading a website.

There is nothing 4chan like on this.

Not even the styling.

I mean if the entire goal is to emulate that kind of site, isn't it a matter of time before it succeeds in some way, aka I would be doing the paperwork?

>isn't it a matter of time before it succeeds in some way

it is not a matter of time. given enough time, every `attempt` to emulate 4chan would succeed?

initiatives to emulate 4chan already happened successfully, this is not close. this, is the same models over again. some people confuse asking standard models from standards providers to do something with an genuine attempt. this thing states it is 4chan for Clankers, but feels like Reddit for Redittors.

there was already a MUCH, MUCH smaller model running loose on 4chan (before agents hiting mainstream) that became 4chan folklore. it was called Seychelles anon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efPrtcLdcdM , by the author YannicKilcher).

but no, if you ask gpt or claude, all you get back is Reddit. and it is not a matter of time until this changes. if you are a redditor, you probably love llms.

GPT-4chan came out three summers ago, trained on /pol/ datasets: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efPrtcLdcdM>

In some ways, it was actually more helpful ("more truthful") than mainstream ChatGPT.
