Sad part about having a laptop job is your kids can’t imitate you doing it in a fun way, like if you were a woodworker or a seamstress. “You can analyze this little dataframe just like Daddy’s analyzing this big dataframe!” And there’s no special environment to take them too.

What happens when you turn a designer into an interpretability researcher? They spend hours staring at feature activations in SVG code to see if LLMs actually understand SVGs. It turns out – yes~ We found that semantic concepts transfer across text, ASCII, and SVG:
