What is Nueralese and Why is it Bad

Neuralese is the idea of replacing a model's natural-language chain-of-thought with a stream of numbers, making its reasoning unreadable to humans. This piece explains why that's dangerous: it would eliminate chain-of-thought monitoring, one of the few safety tools we have for tracking model intent. Citing recent leaks about OpenAI's Astra model, the author argues that even hybrid approaches are a slippery slope toward full neuralese, and urges journalists and employees to push back.
