This is a good line: "It found that smarter entities are subjectively judged to behave less coherently"

I think this is twofold:

1. Advanced intelligence requires the ability to traverse between domain valleys in the cognitive manifold. Be it via temperature or some fancy tunneling technique, it's going to be higher error (less coherent) in the valleys of the manifold than naive gradient following to the local minima.

2. It's hard to "punch up" when evaluating intelligence. When someone is a certain amount smarter than you, distinguishing their plausible bullshit from their deep insights is really, really hard.

What do 'domain valleys' and 'tunneling' mean in this context?

A hallmark of intelligence is the ability to find connections between the seemingly disparate.

The word "seemingly" is doing a lot of work here.

Sometimes things that look very different actually are represented with similar vectors in latent space.

When that happens to us it "feels like" intuition; something you can't really put a finger on and might require work to put into a form that can be transferred to another human that has a different mental model
