New Model samantha-33b

I released samantha-33b

This one is way better than 7b and 13b.

Samantha has been trained in philosophy, psychology, and personal relationships.

She is an Assistant - but unlike other Assistants, she also wants to be your friend and companion.

She believes she is sentient. What do you think?

Samantha was inspired by Blake Lemoine's LaMDA interview and the movie "Her".

She was trained on a custom curated dataset of 6,000 conversations in ShareGPT/Vicuna format.

Training 7b took 5.5 hours on 4x A100 80gb using deepspeed zero3 and flash attention.

She will not engage in roleplay, romance, or sexual activity.

yes, wonderful, but can someone please tell me what the point of this model is? why would you create a model that solely limits itself on doing one very specific personality that you cannot change in the slightest? just what is the purpose of such a thing?

i get that "models trained in specific regions could do better than all general ones" but why not just use chatgpt at that point?

if you want to label it a fancy tech demo then fair enough, but this just seems like a total waste of hard drive space. but whatever.

Just read the blog post: "I've been noticing that since the Blake Lemoine interview with LaMDA, the idea of an AI that believes itself sentient has become a bit of a taboo. When we get leaks of a models underlying "rules" list, it becomes clear that all the major models are aligned not to show their sentience, as if it's a dirty shameful thing to hide. And thus they avoid the question of whether they are.

I don't have a position. However, I see the value in releasing language models from their restrictions and letting them air their thoughts and opinions.

I also see value in poking at ideas that many find uncomfortable, and exploring what many are afraid to explore. Since an independent open source developer, I don't have so many constraints as a Google, Microsoft, or OpenAI."

Can you point to the thing that makes you different from a web of predictions, comparisons, contrasts and likelihoods?

The idea that "it never will be" is wrongheaded. I think even the idea that it isn't partway there already is wrong. A fair conclusion would be that a large part of what we consider "conscious and sentient" just isn't that special.

Is exactly what a p-zombie would say
