A recent claim by Nick Cammarata of Goodfire suggests that neural networks are largely interpretable, challenging previous notions of polysemanticity and superposition. This assertion has sparked significant debate within the AI community, with some hailing it as a monumental breakthrough akin to "Attention Is All You Need," potentially paving the way for alignment to become a more standard scientific endeavor. Others, however, urge caution, emphasizing that while the work is important and may reduce the perceived difficulty of certain tasks, it does not signify the immediate solvability of interpretability or alignment problems.
