Tim Cook attending a private White House screening of the documentary Melania hours after US agents killed a man suggests horrible judgment, or worse, cowardice

Tim Cook is captured.  There is simply no other explanation for his actions over the past year or so.

It increasingly seems to me that the next big barrier in mechanistic interpretability will be an engineering one. If you are an engineer who wants to help us scale up this work, please consider applying! Your support could really accelerate interpretability right now.

A research paper details how decomposing groups of neural network neurons into “interpretable features” may improve safety by enabling the monitoring of LLMs

Neural networks are trained on data, not programmed to follow rules.  With each step of training …

If you'd asked me a year ago, superposition would have been by far the reason I was most worried that mechanistic interpretability would hit a dead end. I'm now very optimistic. I'd go as far as saying it's now primarily an engineering problem — hard, but less fundamental risk.
