unclear: verbs and prepositions in news prose

What this neuron does

The neuron fires on assorted words in news and science writing, like 'developing', 'by', or 'when' just before a clause continues. No clear pattern stands out. Turning it up gave unrelated text.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: low. Think it is wrong? Flag it (opens a prefilled issue on GitHub).

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.

1. #1 peak

   graph progress of conservation measures. If monthly water use figures are provided, use can be graphed monthly.⏎- Writing, art and technology skills can be practiced in developing water conservation messages for posters, the school<|endoftext|>Agile is

2. #2 peak

   just to evaluate where women are in terms of representation and equal pay for equal work, but also to consider the potential for jumpstarting climate negotiations and the green economy by strengthening women’s leadership in these areas.⏎Our elected

3. #3 peak

   recalled. The study could lead to new treatments for conditions like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and even addictions— all of which can involve memories that are intrusive and potentially destructive.⏎The intriguing experiment involved 42 severely

4. #4 peak

   wandering close to a supermassive black hole and finding itself mercilessly ripped apart by this beast weighing millions to billions times more than the hapless star. It doesn’t happen very often. But when it happens, it’s pretty spectacular. And

5. #5 peak

   Alaska’s permafrost is now essentially melting beneath our feet. We know the problem; we all drove on wavy Alaskan roads with bumps and dips caused by thawing permafrost.⏎On a larger scale, oil companies and commercial fishing

6. #6 peak

   the speed at which your brain can function, while hours spent sitting at a desk causes back, shoulder and neck pain. Then there is the decreased sleep quality experienced when using tech too much, which causes many more health concerns. Basically, too 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.

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.

1. #1 peak

   .⏎Unlike medicine, there is no instant gratification with public health. It’s like Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel. It took him 4 years to paint its ceiling. 4 years! It might not take that long for public health

2. #2 peak

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.
