It's a neat party trick, but explainability it's not solution to any AI safety issue I care about. It's a distraction from real problems, which is everything else around the model. The inflexible bureaucratic systems that mak

The state applying strict scrutiny is an intimidation tactic that infringes legitimate speech. We also know very well that none of these systems will work well and that the DOJ will be happy to apply bans as far as they can get away with. I
