Loose notes, fragments, and ideas I'm still shaping.

AI control ≈ deployment security.

Can we bound adversarial success probability at protocol level?

Tiny per-action failure rates compound.

Need better mental models for long-horizon risk.

Reward hacking generalizes.

From specification gaming → reward tampering → reward-process control.

Hybrid retrieval is a systems problem.

Recall is easy. Precision under latency constraints isn't.

llm-systems

Cross-encoder reranking: quality up, latency up.

Where's the better Pareto frontier?

Long-context entity tracking needs better evaluation.

Current benchmarks under-specify the task.

Distillation isn't just compression.

It changes capability access and deployment economics.

Goodhart's Law for oversight.

Metrics → optimization pressure → manipulation → oversight failure.
