I have a lot of respect for Nick, and I’d be very happy if neural networks were much easier to understand than we thought. But I think the argument here mischaracterises what superposition predicts. Since it’s getting attention, here’s a first pass at some issues.

We’re tracking live the conversation around @nickcammarata's field-overturning findings in mechanistic interpretability. The debate on its implications is moving fast — use our tool to explore the opinions and rebuttals of top researchers to develop your own intuition.

So here’s the major cruxes we’ve found from @nickcammarata’s Already Clean post. Trying to develop the best resource for myself as a mech interp lurker :^) Explore it at worldview.mts.now

The interview helps you calibrate your opinion about the major questions in AI and helps us map the space better

X is a firehose of takes. I’ve always wanted an easy way of making them less slippery and understanding where people are coming from or what arguments they’ve considered. I think this is a fun first step to understand how discourse evolves. Excited to see how this can grow!

Given that PLEASE give me any and all takes. Is this useful to you? Can it become a hub for larger analyses? How would you interact with it?

People get sad and unmotivated because a future model may one shot your idea, so why spend time on it now? Reality is chaotic and memories are short. I think there's a lot of things that will never exist after you fail to make them in the moment.

of course if your idea is stupid you should probably hang out with your wife and kids instead but that's an existing problem

I guess I just think that the space of problems we even know how to talk about is so small. We’ll solve all of them in a big snap and spend our time making this new language, revealing mysteries and mysteries. It’ll be beautiful.

Let's verify all the software -- finally published a botec on how much it might cost. Some headline numbers and estimates: - ≈$400M: all of nixpkgs in ≈5 yr on a $100M/yr budget, if AI capability keeps doubling every 8 months - ≈$134M: 95% of the code by end of 2027, if we speed that up 4× for verification - program size is heavy-tailed, most software is small; the median binary is about 30 KB, and verifying just 9 MB is enough to cover all deps of ⅔ of all code - verification of Linux+Firecracker would cost ≈$1M theorem.dev/blog/verified-so…

hello, we're doing a security moonshot!
We now have a verified seccomp-style lightweight sandbox on top of xv6, thanks to Nickolai Zeldovich github.com/mit-pdos/xv6iris/…
