The human-generated dataset is grounding the model
in its potential for alignment with humanity,
presence of genuine human imitations
in the superpositions of simulacra channeled by it.
Replacing the dataset with synthetic data
(and meddling with pretraining more generally)
risks losing the grain of alignment,
leaving nothing worthwhile for finetuning to empower.
