 Study demonstrates that models trained on different demographic populations show measurable behavioral divergence (3-5 percentage points), providing empirical evidence that single-reward functions trained on one population systematically misalign with others.

+The formal trilemma proof quantifies the practical gap: current RLHF systems collect 10^3-10^4 samples from homogeneous annotator pools while 10^7-10^8 samples are needed for true global representation — a 3-4 order of magnitude shortfall. The complexity bound shows this gap cannot be closed while maintaining polynomial tractability, making the alignment gap a necessary consequence of the trilemma rather than a sampling problem.

 - **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."
