'mean' after 'doesn't' in 'just because' sentences

What this neuron does

This neuron lights up on the word 'mean' in sentences like 'just because X doesn't mean Y', where a point is being qualified or pushed back on. Turning it up made the model drift into rambling text, with no clear theme.

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

   connected to the National Institute of Health, has some pretty amazing fact sheets that lay everything out in great detail. But just because supplements are safe in moderation doesn't mean that more is better. Combining

2. #2 peak

   of health benefits, including weight loss, improved lung function, lower risk of stroke, cancer and heart disease.⏎But just because the humble apple is ubiquitous doesn't mean it's without some mystery as well. Read on to learn more about the fruit

3. #3 peak

   consonant sounds work better throughout the melodic phrase. Just because a word or two fits the number of syllables you need to fill in your melody doesn't mean it will necessarily flow out nicely when sung

4. #4 peak

   to consider, such as job market demand, salary ranges, long-range opportunities, skills required, etc. Just because an occupation is "hot" now does not mean it will be equally in demand in 10 years or that your child has

5. #5 peak

   Also just because milk is rich in calcium doesn’t mean much if you don’t have vitamin D to accompany it, otherwise the calcium can

6. #6 peak

   try with your children.⏎1. Brainstorm ways to save and collect money.⏎Your child may be too young for an official “job,” but that doesn’t mean he or she is too young for other entrepreneurial endeavors. Help your child brainstorm different

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

   limitations cannot be understood only through electrical specifications and nameplate data, because redundancy is included in the design. In order to obtain a thorough understanding of electromagnetic force/torque generation, one must consider thermal characteristics

2. #2 peak

   There is now firm evidence supporting the lever arm hypothesis for the origin of directional movement. Nevertheless, many pivotal issues remain. For

3. #3 peak

   as the origin, distances to the left would have negative values while the distances to right would be positive. In a perfect world, the sum of all of the moments would equal zero, indicating balanced forces across the press slide.⏎Table 1 quant

4. #4 peak

   to work side by side with humans without any physical boundaries. Also, compared to industrial robots, they are programmed to operate at lower speeds and with less ”torque strength”, making them safer to use in parallel to human workers.⏎Indeed, industrial

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.
