let’s try this by substituting AI with human: A human that explains its actions is a first step towards a human we can maybe trust. what a bunch of bs. what is trust? also, can we stop pretending we understand how the brain works and that the small incremental progress that is made in this area means that AI is just around the corner? it’s not

Yeah, let's try. Or maybe rephrase it to: a human whose actions you can understand is a human you can begin to trust. We have it easy with other humans, because our brains are all alike. We all run on the same architecture, same firmware. In the occasional cases of unpredictable people, we tend to assume buggy or damaged hardware, and we either fix them or keep them away from anything where predictability matters (e.g. aviation, or gun ownership, or driving), up to and including locking the hardest cases up. With algorithms, we're playing hard mode. There is no theory of mind for software. The "thoughts" of AIs are entirely unlike our own. So we need to do extra work to make them predictable.
