Responding to whether CoT monitoring is dead, the author lays out a nuance take: it's good, it's imperfect, and stronger models are becoming less monitorable and more eval-aware across labs (not just OpenAI).
We still need to train better models safely, and as capability rises, alignment and monitoring only become more critical.
