- livgorton points out that the positive update exciting the community — MLP neurons being more useful for interpretability than assumed — was covered by a Transluce AI paper a year ago.
- The quoted thread notes the idea was argued before (e.g., Arora et al., 2025), and that leveraging developmental structure might make interpretability much easier.
