Zvi: under time pressure, alignment solutions will always be last-minute vibe-coded
TheZvi · x · 2026-10-17
Simon Lermen argues automating alignment research points an objective at 'convince the human', and serious attempts would require robust metrics that resist Goodharting — yet labs will likely ship a last-minute vibe-coded 'alignment solution'. Zvi adds: under sufficient time pressure, everything is vibe-coded at the last minute by definition — if it got coded, it was already the last minute. That's the problem.
