Yannic Kilcher explains how he trained a language model on 4chan posts and analyzed its behavior when deployed back onto the platform.

#gpt4chan #4chan #ai GPT-4chan was trained on over 3 years of posts from 4chan's "politically incorrect" (/pol/) board. (and no, this is not GPT-4) EXTRA VIDEO HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Website (try the model here): gpt-4chan.com Model (no longer available): huggingface.co/ykilcher/gpt-4chan Code: github.com/yk/gpt-4chan-public Dataset: zenodo.org/record/3606810#.YpjGgexByDU OUTLINE: - Intro - Disclaimers - Elon, Twitter, and the Seychelles - How I trained a language model on 4chan posts - How good is this model? - Building a 4chan bot - Something strange is happening - How the bot got unmasked - Here we go again - Final thoughts ERRATA: - I stated that the model is better on the automated parts of TruthfulQA than any other GPT out there, which is incorrect. There exist some small GPT-models with similar performance, I was mainly talking about the flagship models, such as GPT-3 and GPT-J.

Why it's here

What people say. Shared as a fascinating and controversial experiment demonstrating how fine-tuned language models can mimic specific online communities.

On “Breaking the 4Chan CAPTCHA”

In my opinion the granddaddy of all 4chan CAPTCHA busts is still Yannick Kilcher’s GPT-J tune on “Raiders of the Lost Kek” set, and might be the coolest thing an LLM has ever done on video: link to this video

On “GPT-4chan”

There is a solid video explanation (though the author is undermining the toxicity of the average 4chan /pol/ posts): link to this video . A really interesting experiment.

On “Reddit Launches Long-Awaited IPO with $748M Target”

I still love this experiment: link to this video The theories about the origins of these commenters were amazing. There's nothing to say that other people are not doing the exact same thing right now here on HN and other places. And very few people would even notice, because open LLMs have progressed significantly since then.

I'm not the author. The author is Yannic Kilcher. Maybe he reads it here as well though. I don't know if he is active on HN. Check out the video: link to this video

On “Ask HN: GPT-3 reveals my full name – can I do anything?”

All the search engines are moving towards language models. I think language models are on a similar trajectory as sequencing the genome. The first sequences were massive undertakings, 15M USD in 2006, 100 USD now. link On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots link "Imagine you are remram and are looking to buy insurance, what are three things that could convince you to purchase ...." You can take the generic "trained on the world" language model and filter it down to the language model of remram. GPT-4Chan link to this video

On “Are language models deprived of electric sleep?”

So green text is easier to spoof than HN comments, but my, uh, friend tells me that the HN comment corpus is floating around. Someone is eventually going to speed run 10k karma on HN and YouTube it. This year? Next? Who knows. But not a decade. link to this video

On “CICERO: An AI agent that negotiates, persuades, and cooperates with people”

That's nothing. Someone trained a GPT-J 6B model on 4chan and then let the model loose on the forums for a day. It took about 15k messages until people suspected something was off, and even that was because the country flags, Seychelles, a rare flag on 4chan, were a giveaway. video: link to this video model: link

This has already happened, someone trained a giant model on 4chan then unleashed on 4chan... hilarious stuff. link to this video

On “Ask HN: Does the HN commentariat have a reductive view of what a human being is?”

I'm fairly certain you can create AI bot that would indistinguishably mimic your regular HN user, in the same style as GPT-4chan was link to this video The only problem is that it might be banned for spewing too many falsehoods.

On “Microsoft Kosmos-1: A Multimodal Large Language Model”

link to this video The internet will be saturated with fake people soon. Someone already did a PoC of this on 4chan as a joke with just a small GPT2 model. In a few years you won't be able to tell if you're talking to a human unless they're physically in front of you.

On “The genie escapes: Stanford copies the ChatGPT AI for less than $600”

This is different. It can act just like humans do for most people who skim comments won't be able to tell the difference. Note this was in 2020: link And here's 4chan bot: link to this video I can tell you that HN is probably already being infiltrated as well. SPAM can't gang up on you in a forum and downvote you and turn your friends against you and destroy your reputation within 1 hour online. But soon, it will. The web as we know it is soon going to be over.

GPT models have been shown to get significantly more truthful when trained on the right data set: link to this video The 30 million they are investing should be enough to reproduce that. Looking forward to it!

On “ChatGPT Generating Racist Content”

I just want to remind everybody, summer 2022 a jokester trained an LLM using 4chan as its source material... which ended up being "more truthful" than ChatGPT 1. 1 "GPT-4chan is worst AI ever!" link to this video

On “Phi-3 Technical Report”

> TruthfulQA Wait, people still use this benchmark? I hear there's a huge flaw on it. For examples, fine-tuning the model on 4chan make it scores better on TruthfulQA. It becomes very offensive afterwards though, for obvious reasons. See GPT-4chan 1 1 link to this video
