AI researcher Nick Cammarata, now at startup Goodfire, released a roughly 26,000-word essay arguing that neural network neurons are not as inscrutable as long assumed, and that the 'superposition' phenomenon causing unrelated concepts to share neurons can be better understood than previously thought. The essay has drawn praise from figures including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and a prominent OpenAI researcher who called it a 'major moment in scientific history.'
