There's a lot of money sloshing around in 'AI Alignment' and 'AI Safety' spaces but almost none available if you're actively preventing user harm in a way that doesn't unicorn-scale. People want vibes, conferences, thinktanks, research. But not actual solutions. Ugh.

Because \"vibes, conferences, and thinktanks\" produce social capital and academic prestige, which are highly legible metrics. Solving actual user harm is muddy, hyper-contextual, and doesn't yield a neat formula to pitch to VCs. Alignment is a theology; actual harm reduction is janitorial work.
