Interp researchers' parody song: what we'd do if interpretability were declared dead
ChrisGPotts · x · 2026-10-19
Chris Potts shares a song (written July 2026) imagining what interpretability researcher Aryaman would do if interp were declared dead. The chorus is packed with inside references to projects from his PhD: swapping in ReFT vectors, going prefill-only, building RePS steering, sorting through state spaces ("Mamba can stay"), and grinding the syntax pathway.
A charming piece of interpretability-community self-deprecating humor.
