f5654e9682 theseus: extract 4 claims from 2026 mechanistic interpretability status report
- What: 4 claims on interpretability's diagnostic utility, SAE limitations, circuit-discovery intractability, and compute costs as alignment tax amplifier
- Why: bigsnarfdude 2026 compilation synthesizing Anthropic/DeepMind/OpenAI findings; high-priority source with direct evidence on technical alignment's structural limits
- Connections: grounds [[scalable oversight degrades rapidly as capability gaps grow]] in NP-hardness theory; quantifies [[the alignment tax]] with 20PB/GPT-3-compute figure; confirms [[AI alignment is a coordination problem not a technical problem]] by showing interpretability is bounded to diagnostic use
