This "Fires of History: Trolls Save the World” and the subsequent followup books are really good, entirely worth reading. And I think the author is doing something really cleverly unique, retraining LLMs on classical texts and various internet flamewars to try to make the primordial troll as an interview subject. But the proper historical documentation of the subject matter of trolling is done very well. Probably the most rewarding return for namesearching myself in a while.

Pretty neat, I was just thinking about fine-tuned LLMs. I've been looking around for cheap ways to re-elicit base models' ability to "become the document" and write in any style they're prompted to write in. On the issue of finetuned models, is this of interest to you? https://huggingface.co/Sicari...
