As quoted
AI 2027's "neuralese" is the thing researchers currently don't know how to do – train an AI to loop as often as it wants, avoiding English chain-of-thought entirely. Pachocki was saying: don't worry, we still don't know how to do that. But now we can see that this is not entirely reassuring.
The first AIs to automate AI research will reason in mostly faithful natural-language chains of thought.
