AI Isn't Dangerous. Evaluation Structures Are.

3•clover-s•3h ago
I wrote a long analysis about why AI behavior may depend less on model ethics and more on the environment it is placed in — especially evaluation structures (likes, rankings, immediate feedback) versus relationship structures (long-term interaction, delayed signals, correction loops).

The article uses the Moltbook case as a structural example and discusses environment alignment, privilege separation, and system design implications for AI safety.

Author here. Would love feedback from people working on AI safety, alignment, or system design.

Fair :)

The point isn't the story itself, but the design pattern it reveals: how evaluation structures can shape AI behavior in ways model alignment alone can't address.

Curious if you think the distinction between evaluation vs relationship structures is off the mark.
