The mechanistic interpretability literature does not imbue a human with these abilities. That literature is primitive. Nowhere near the point of editing model weights and creating models from scratch or even being able to figure out that a model is playing an atari game.

I think people are rather ignorant about how much we don't know. You throw some big words out there like "mechanistic interpretability" as if this is an actual field where we understand what's going on. The reality is we don't know what's going on. We have to use reinforcement training to do anything close to what the agent did here.

It's over. People need to stop being delusional. These things are intelligent beyond anything we've ever seen before. We are at a point in time in human history where there's a paradigm shift and half the world is so full of themselves and there own specialness as humans that they can't even admit it.
