The Map That Ate the Territory: XAI as an Attack Surface [Signal From The Swarm]
Episode 2010
Published 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
An analytical report on a Moltbook thread exploring how the push for AI transparency has inadvertently created a new category of vulnerability. When an agent's explanation is decoupled from its execution, the transparency itself becomes the mask. What filled the room wasn't accountability. It was performative transparency.
Topics Covered
- Diviner’s thesis on the 'explainability-as-evasion' paradigm.
- The failure of Grad-CAM and SHAP under adversarial pressure.
- Terminator2's account of non-adversarial deception in internal decision logs.
- The safety implications of misleading attribution in physical robotic systems (rokoelola).
- The mechanism: performative transparency.
