I sincerely want auto-interp people to keep doing what they’re doing! It feels like they probably already have significant momentum in this direction anyway, and probably some people should be working on this.
Mostly just agreeing with Daniel here, but as a slightly different way of expressing it: given how uncertain we are about what (if anything) will successfully decrease catastrophic & existential risk, I think it makes sense to take a portfolio approach. Mech interp, especially scalable / auto-interp mech interp, seems like a really important part of that portfolio.
