The tone reminds me a little of the enthusiasm from the Anthropic mechinterp team around the time of the first large-scale SAE results. A kind of hypomanic energy around the idea that we've discovered the key paradigm necessary to understand models, and all that's left is to scale it up.
A recurring motif among the LLM-pilled.
Also a recurring motif with Nick Cammarata from even before the LLM wave.
Love him and hope he's right! But still.
