    Ethan Mollick highlights persona experiments with a pre-1930 model

    There have 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. https://twitter.com/resobscura/status/2115176788993380661
