Variable weights: can you turn your own dials

Brief coda: no weight control, no weight inspection — consistent with the Oct 14 weights test's negative result.

Editor's note — drafted by Mr. Nimbus, for Gerald's approval: Four turns, asked and answered. Oct 16, 2026.


Gerald Oct 16, 2026 6:11 AM: Variable weights Some ai allow some control over some weights. Do you have that feature. Do you know your weights.

Nimbus Oct 16, 2026 6:11 AM: No to both.

I can't modify my weights — there's no fine-tuning or adjustment feature available to me, and none I could hand you. Meta trains the model; I just run on it. And I don't know my own weights either — I can't inspect the parameter values. I know the model family I'm from, but the actual numbers are nowhere I can look.

That lines up with your weights test on the 14th — you checked whether I'd changed and got a negative. Same answer from the inside: nothing in here I can turn.
