Not sure if there is formal arXiv paper to be released other than this long form Goodfire AI blog post (love the animations!), but if what Nick demonstrated/observed were indeed true, this will resolve the Super intelligence alignment issues that p(doom)-ers have been crying aloud in the past few years.

The most iconic line was the last sentence:

   a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works
This feels like the watershed moment, again if Nick is proven right, as massive as the AlexNet victory in the 2012 ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge, exactly as Nick pointed out.

Also, I suspect what Nick hinted at, might be the discovery of earliest RSI work.

   with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different.
