the digit 8 in lists and numbers

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the digit 8, especially when it is a list number, a page or verse number, or part of a sequence. Turning it up pushed the text toward strange number-heavy and repetitive output.

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

   their powers of 2 do not contain zeros: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15,

2. #2 peak

   to fourfold greater mortality, and are up to eight times more likely to die within the first 24 hours following injury [2-4,7,8].⏎Injury to brain tissue may predispose to acute traumatic coagulopathy

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

   what’s available in print. This makes finding early examples of colloquial language very difficult, as most non-standard English doesn’t make it into publication. Aight was probably spoken aloud before the 90s, but if nobody recorded it

2. #2 peak

   3 and 1994, respectively. Upon first glance, this seems far too late to me. Surely there were rappers rhyming with aight in the 1980s. Why doesn’t the OED cite

3. #3 peak

   Italians say: Gluttony kills more than the sword. NB).⏎The company also found

4. #4 peak

   ”. The song wasn’t what you’d call a smash hit, but I mention it today because the editors of the OED have just put its namesake aight into

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.
