you've got to figure out how to make it work or not sell it.
Like those are your two choices.
And since it's made by people, we're fully capable of figuring out how to make it work.
It wasn't handed down.
It didn't show up like an obelisk of one by four by nine that we're supposed to figure out how does it do what it does and what's its source of power.
Literally, it had no code.
Then it had a little bit of code and a few users and a lot of code and a lot of users.
We've all been there through this.
It is pure insanity to just sit and argue that higher powers need to be summoned in order to fix this.
And alignment has this very specific problem, which is the only way to be aligned is to have a very large set of rules that say what alignment is.
You can do this, you can't do that.
This is safe, this is unsafe.
And it turns out software, it's well understood that if you don't put too many constraints on a system,
then its system won't work.
And you'll have an infinite number of unintended side effects.
And so you can't really just say we're going to align because you're going to have to come up with a rule.
And then when you come up with this rule, someone's going to say, yeah, but what about this case?
Then you're going to add another rule.
And you know what that starts to look like?
It starts to look like Google and all the work that they constantly have to do to decide how to present search results.
