The proportion of junior researchers doing interp rather than other technical work is too high
I think that’s because it’s almost the only thing that junior researchers can productively work on.
Even if mech interp isn’t in itself useful I’d guess it’s pretty useful as a souce of endless puzzles to help people skill up in doing technical ML work.
