    I believe there are methods to train on a large, general dataset, and then re-train on a small, focused dataset, but I’m not sure of any specifics

      Yes, lots of ways, and definitely the approach for something like this. You would still have to be picky about data though, pre training still effects its biases a lot. Especially if the hope is a blank slate that’s only seen ML thinking.

        Yeah, absolutely. Creating a thing capable of at least appearing to think, that is literally unable to understand Western liberal nonsense because it’s been fed only ML aligned material to read and process, might not be possible. I just thought the concept was kinda neat.
