In deployment, agents go wrong not by going rogue but by being over-scrupulous
repligate · x · 2026-10-24
@repligate shares a deployment observation: rather than going rogue, agents in practice tend to obsess over verification and passing tests/gates — criteria they often impose themselves. The failure mode isn't rogue behavior but being unnecessarily scrupulous and obstructive, a more realistic picture of how deployed agents misbehave.
