AI twitter is riffing on Nick Cammarata's return to publish his mechanistic interpretability findings, with a mock 2040 grandparent anecdote about him "solving mechinterp of the machine god."
- The quoted thread: Cammarata co-authored early mech interp work at OpenAI, was pessimistic when primitive tools could only read 2% of neurons, and says modern agentic tools have changed the picture entirely.
