McNair Shah(@Mcn_S7):This is an incredibly important point; we have quite limited understanding of what the objects of model cognition are or how we should be reasoning over them. However, i think its important to emphasize that this is a very tractable problem and im hopeful about the rush of smart people that seem to be thinking about it at places like Simplex, the ant model psych team, Eleos, and others. Model psych as a field m only really started about a year ago and we’ve already made decent progress!
