Before I dive into the tests, I want to take a moment to describe the goals of this testing. My independent research schedule is largely driven by what brings me joy. Because of that I'm trying to get better at scoping efforts to something I can finish in a couple of days. It's easy to be interested in something for a couple of days! Therefore, my current plan is to run a couple of tests to get a high level view of how the Tokenizer attack performs and then see where things go.  To that end, this particular blog post will focus on three main "tests" to answer a couple of targeted questions. Test 1: Analyze how sensitive Tokenizer is to the size of the training data Question: How sensitive is the Toke
