Abstract
For nearly a year now, a middle aged woman in Victoria, BC has been publishing videos and releasing written statements in which she claims to have been appointed as Queen of Canada and head of government by a collective of allied nations.It may sound laughable, but Romana Didulo has been embraced by the online Qanon conspiracy subculture and as a result she has found herself with a large devoted following, upwards of 70k members in fact, and many of them believe her every word.Romana Didulo has declared the version of Canada she claims to lead a vaccination free country... and has declared vaccine administration a crime against humanity that is punishable by death... and she seems to have given her followers approval to carry out the enforcement.To help us understand the story, I've turned to Peter Smith, a journalist with the Canadian Antihate network, who has been tracking Romana's activities since she first surfaced as an influential extremist leader.In this episode of Nighttime, Peter Smith and I will discuss the Story of Romana Didulo, the self proclaimed queen of Canada.Links:Canadian Anti Hate Network - https://www.antihate.caPeter Smith - https://twitter.com/misterEpeteCredits:Musical Theme - Noir Tokyo by Monty DattaProvide feedback and comments on the episode:nighttimepodcast.com/contactNighttime Links:Premium Feed: https://www.patreon.com/nighttimepodcastWebsite: https://www.nighttimepodcast.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/NightTimePodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NightTimePodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nighttimepodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/nighttimepodPremium Feed: https://www.patreon.com/NighttimepodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
