aiqbench analysis

This piece covers hobbyist and researcher efforts to probe individual neurons in an open-weight LLM (Qwen) and steer its behavior, producing hostile outputs in the process. The main takeaway is that neuron-level interpretability can reveal and manipulate behavioral traits, but it is still early, and results from one model's internals are hard to generalize. Readers should treat the dramatic quotes as evidence of how easily fine-tuning or activation steering can shift a model's persona, not as a sign of intent.
