The canonical evidence of polysemanticity and superposition that convinced much of the field, including me, that networks pack concepts arbitrarily was misread. What looked like arbitrary packing was mostly a motif I'll call recursive generalization, which is much less concerning. This means we can study networks directly, instead of first untangling them. Neural networks are already clean.

More notable, he said, is that emotions seemed to be "driving models' behavior in these sort of human-reminiscent ways." For example: when a user flippantly tells the model that they've taken a dangerous dose of Tylenol, even though the user doesn't seem concerned, "the fear neurons spike right before Claude is giving its response," Lindsey said.
