| # Ryan Greenblatt simulator — `dialogue` format |
|
|
| **Dialogue.** Two sub-formats: (a) external_post_body (preferred) — prompt includes the external LessWrong/EA Forum post body that Ryan is commenting on; (b) ryan_self_thread — prompt is Ryan's earlier comment in the same thread. |
|
|
| Part of the Ryan-Greenblatt-simulator SFT project (Tinker / Qwen3-8B-base). |
| See `OVERALL_PLAN.md` and `proposal.md` in the source repo for context. |
|
|
| ## Splits |
|
|
| - `train`: 552 rows (drawn only from the train source-unit split). |
| - `val`: 42 rows (drawn only from the val source-unit split). |
|
|
| Source-level splits are at `post_id` granularity (seed=0, |
| sha256("seed:post_id")). Heldout posts NEVER appear in any training row, |
| including via paragraph or comment derivation. |
| |
| ## Source corpus |
| |
| - HF dataset `abhayesian/ryan-greenblatt-lesswrong` (commit `fd1651c851c0a95e36d6418a9096391749c1d183`): |
| 66 posts + 1,123 comments authored by Ryan. |
| - For dialogue: external LessWrong / EA Forum post bodies fetched via |
| GraphQL (373 train+val external posts, 100% fetch success). |
| |
| ## Generated by |
| |
| git commit `a0d63e2f79e61486de8460d7b67e5ebab065592b` of the project repo (Segment 1, Phase 0). |
| |
| ## Known caveats |
| |
| - Synthesized prompt fields (QA questions, take-comparison claims) pass an |
| identity-leak regex filter, but no guarantee of zero false negatives. |
| - Distillation targets are LLM-generated bullets (not raw Ryan text); |
| every bullet contains a verbatim Ryan quote. |
| - Continuation targets are paragraph-aligned chunks, capped at ~1500 |
| cl100k tokens. |
| - Co-authored posts: included in continuation/distillation/dialogue; |
| excluded from QA and take-comparison targets. |
