What did you think "native editing" might mean? Ablation certainly fits in this class.
Regarding the "extend beyond what we'd expect from humans..." Do you know people that could do 4 & 5? I'd love to see a challenge on problems like this where we take a frontier model against top AI researchers - I don't think any human is winning this challenge.
The amount of bad faith in the convo is way too high for me, sorry.
I can't believe that you genuinely don't find misleading that they used the same phrase for "reading and editing a text representation of the weights" without any tools and "mechanically apply a python-computed steering vector to the weights", and I don't have time to waste with bad faith shills.
