when picking a partner would you prefer a person who has been through severe trauma and done a lot of therapy & work to overcome it (but may have lingering issues) or a person who's lived a kinda charmed life and never experienced severe trauma?
when training a LLM would you prefer to first expose it to traumatizing content and then teach it to suppress the knowledge in its responses, or would you keep it innocent by removing the dark damaging topics from the training data?
if you've experienced trauma yourself, if you could erase the experience and all cascading damage/therapy from your memory & body, would you return to innocence?
if you have a child do you try to protect them from trauma?
