AI monitoring dismissed as exotic dark science; large-scale infra solved it years ago

A discussion emerged critiquing the reliance on "monitoring" as a general solution for AI safety, citing issues like infrastructure downtime, false positives, and monitor fatigue. One counter-argument asserts that large-scale infrastructure engineering solved these monitoring problems a decade ago, emphasizing that basic monitoring and classifiers are established practices, not exotic dark science as some labs might suggest.
