Clear-eyed and sobering. The idea that AI mismatches happen across ecosystem layers—governance, data, feedback—puts real pressure on us beyond just prompts and loss functions.

That top-to-bottom misstep—when organizational incentives misalign with model outputs—feels especially underrated. It’s not just the tech that’s flawed—it’s the system around it.

Shaping alignment isn’t just ML science. It’s design, ethics, team dynamics, and long-game governance. Without those layers, alignment stays theoretical, not structural.
