The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
And lend to good advice a patient ear.

Я измерил «личность» 6 open-source LLM (7B-9B), заглянув в их hidden states. Вот что получилось
У LLM есть устойчивый стиль ответов даже без системного промпта. Я построил инструмент, который измеряет этот «характер» через проекции скрытых состояний на 7 контрастных осей (тёплый/холодный, многословный/лаконичный и др.) и протестировал его на 6 open-weight моделях 7–9B. Главный результат: alignment-тренировка сжимает поведенческое пространство моделей — подавляет оси позиции (уверенность, прямолинейность), сохраняя оси стиля (креативность, многословность). Llama 3.1 8B — самая ограниченная (4/7 осей в слабой зоне), DeepSeek 7B сохраняет наибольшую независимость осей. Сравнение base vs instruct для 5 организаций подтверждает паттерн. Код и данные открыты.

NURSE: Terrible is the temperament of royalty,
Who are rarely controlled, always imperious;
It is hard for them to give up their wrath.
To get used to living like everybody else
Is better.

CW: USPol - Trump, tariffs
As a consequence of these various #personality, #temperament, and #intellectual #deficits, Trump is, for a world leader, amazingly easy to #manipulate.
If you #butter him up, and suggest doing something will make him look good - well, there's a good chance he'll listen intently. He likes to listen to people telling him he's wonderful, and giving him easy ways to appear more wonderful. Much better than listening to people asking him to choose between tough or ugly choices on complicated subjects.
He's also got that tendency where he believes whatever the last person he spoke to told him. This is why people - remember those oligarchs who were literally in front-row seats at his inauguration? - want to be close to him, figuratively and literally. If you keep his #ear, you can keep him behind your needs, your ideas, your wants.
So, given all this, why the hell did he declare #economic #war on #Canada (and Mexico, and China, but I'm #Canadian) when it was:
(a) obviously a bad idea for the US and the world #economy; there will be pain, and it will hurt him - price of eggs and all that
(b) not something that was going to personally #profit him in any big way
(c) not in the interests of his #billionaire oligarchs
(d) not a primary plank in his campaign - at least not in this scorched-earth approach he's takenWhy?

I think maybe some of you interested in Baroque music may not know that this music was not really intended to be played with equal temperament. N.B. If you learned that Bach invented equal temperament, that is flat out wrong.
It's a complex subject but these two videos are good explaining it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6iwiQwVUIc
