Actually, thinking more about it, it’s quite sinister. The characters they have available as examples are:
c3po
cosmosHelper
Dobby
eternalAi
sbf
trump
Of those, I (and I’m guessing most people) only know c3po, Dobby and Trump. And trump is the only known human model. Now let’s say you want to test the application (which you can from their website if you give them your chatgpt API token), then people are more likely to pick a character they know and so it’s likely to be one of those three. So just running the example with the trump model because you want to test it has already launched a chat bot that has a right leaning rhetoric.
I looked into the commit history and it doesn’t seem like there was a lot of activity before the US elections, which is weird since OP claims it was written for that purpose. Moreover, the trump character wasn’t commited until two weeks before the election.
Of course it’s entirely possible to fake the git history, but I don’t think it’s likely.
I’m trying to understand who the people are that are developing the software. I should probably make a burner twitter account so I can read more of their profiles…
This is the second highest contributor
Not trying to start a witch hunt, there are plenty of Musk apologists, so this screenshot alone doesn’t prove anything.
I’m getting more confused about that person. On their GitHub, they have one repo which is a fork of the main Eliza project. Apart from that, their only contributions are to the Eliza project. Fair enough if they want to have a separate GitHub account just for that purpose. But then their twitter account seems to be some crypto fan /developer and Eliza is only mentioned once. Then where are the crypto projects on their GitHub?

Git history itself looks weird.
