@joshsusser I've been training my own sloppelganger this past week (because I want to learn about fine-tuning models and training LoRAs, and I don't want to steal anybody else's writing to do it and I have millions of words of my own writing on the web I can use as the corpus).

It's good to have a name for the abominable creation. So far, it makes the model dumber and meaner, which is a pretty hurtful result that I choose to blame on bugs in the training process.

@zoocoup @MedeaVanamonde @kimlockhartga Cool. I figured it was already in use somewhere. It's the obvious portmanteau!
