Huge Ai news, ELi5
Anthropic figured out how to measure an ai's neurons
Solves a HUGE problem by breaking a "poly-semantic" neuron, stuck in a "superposition", meaning it is activated for multiple different ideas, into a single smaller unit of 1 idea.
This makes it way easier…
This is earth-shattering news.
The "hard problem" of mechanistic interpretability has been solved.
The formal/cautious/technical language of most ppl commenting on this obscures the gravity of it.
What this means -> not just AGI, but *safe* *superintelligence* is 100% coming🧵

Change jobs and now your code library is gone
Even if you have other tech skills, losing that infrastructure and previous code is akin to lighting a file cabinet on fire
I’m insanely jealous of indie hackers and solo founders who…
Surprisingly fragile position:
Being highly-paid for a skill requiring access to someone else's infrastructure to create value. (Think of a trader at a big i-bank.)
If you lose access to that infrastructure for any reason, there's a *very* long way to fall.
