The Model Fills the Blank: Designing Gates That Take Verdict Authority Away From AI
Jay299792458 · reddit · 2026-09-18
The author argues the fundamental agent risk isn't hallucination but that models never stop when they don't know—they infer missing values, assume missing conditions, and invent intent. Proposed fix: a gate architecture that declares required checks outside the model, has code verify and log every slot's state and source (including blocked runs), and executes only on recorded verdicts. Spec complete; reference implementation is a skeleton, not production-ready.
