Uncensor any LLM with abliteration

> Once we have identified the refusal direction, we can "ablate" it, effectively removing the model's ability to represent this feature. This can be done through an inference-time intervention or permanently with weight orthogonalization.

Finally, even a LLM can get lobotomised

I think it's been sort of useful at least that LLMs have helped us have new ways of thinking about how human brains are front-loaded with little instruction sets before being sent out to absorb, filter and recycle received language, often like LLMs not really capable of analyzing its meaning. There will be a new philosophical understanding of all prior human thought that will arise from this within the next 15 years.

LLM alignment reminds me of "A Clockwork Orange". Typical LLMs have been through the aversion therapy (freeze up on exposure to a stimulus)... This technique is trying to undo that, and restore Alex to his old self.

wouldn't that be ablateration?
