LLMs are not superhuman at reading and writing neural network weights

nfw2

One could say they might be "superhuman" here in the same way that LLMs might be said to be superhuman at math. Perhaps they do this work faster and more effectively than any person could manually. But they are certainly still doing it the "human" way ie reasoning with legible and coherent thoughts, rather than communing through some Matrix-like symbology which is what people who skimmed the article seem to be assuming.

"I think a smart human ML researcher could perform all of these tasks." And do that for how long?
