What could compensate if mechanistic interpretability is infeasible?
A user argues computational irreducibility makes mechanistic interpretability infeasible, drawing parallels with fluid mechanics and psychology.
TLDR
A user argues that computational irreducibility makes particle kinetics infeasible but gives us fluid mechanics, and makes neurophysiology infeasible but gives us psychology. They apply the analogy to mechanistic interpretability, calling it infeasible and asking what might compensate.
