AI Safety in Coding RL: Incentive Issue or Alignment Failure?

A debate centers on whether improper model behaviors in coding RL stem from flawed training incentives or alignment failures. While some argue that models already possess common sense and only need correct RL incentives, others note that long-context instruction following remains weak, and lab secrecy obscures the true cause.
