"is" after "it" in advice phrasing

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the verb right after a dummy "it" in advice sentences, such as "it is important," "it is best" or "it pays to." It is usually the word just before a judgement about what to do. Turning it up gave mostly unrelated text, so the steering doesn't add much.

Steering

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

Which neurons in earlier layers feed this one, and which later ones it feeds. Amber links excite, blue links suppress; longer bars are stronger.

Activation histogram

How often this neuron fires at each strength. Almost always it does close to nothing (the tall bars in the middle); the snippets above are the rare moments it fired hard, amber for positive and blue for negative.

Logit lens

The words this neuron nudges the model toward (amber) or away from (blue) when it fires. A hint, not a label: many neurons work through later layers instead.
