Episode 10: Uncertainty Is Not a Safety Feature

Uncertainty is not a safety feature. It is only useful when the agent loop can act on it: pause, verify, retry differently, escalate, downgrade, or stop. Key points: “I might be wrong” is a signal, not a control system. Measure what uncertainty changes, not how humble the output sounds. Escalation reasons, retry metadata, and stop conditions matter more than confidence theater. Signed receipts and inspectable evidence beat trust-me claims. Practical agent reliability looks more like operations engineering than prompt styling. Core thesis: Uncertainty only improves agent safety when it changes the loop.
