Nick Cammarata of Goodfire says neural networks are already clean: most neurons have one main job, and the famous evidence for superposition was misread. Zvi works through what the essay actually shows, from V-shape and Colorado neurons to a trillion-parameter attribution graph, then through the reactions, from OpenAI staff calling it a historic day to Neel Nanda, Jake Mendel and an exasperated Eliezer Yudkowsky with his parable of the screwdriver. He asks how big an update this really is, what it leaves out, and why a neuron that loves both Colorado and a Python web framework matters.
