Lol this has to be a troll, I've never seen something so wildly, obviously, incredibly wrong.

You can debate all you want if alignment is possible. That is a valid discussion. But it's trivial to demonstrate that alignment is a problem.

...how is an impossible thing supposed to be a problem?

  • Alignment is something you want, so if you're not confident that it's possible, that sure sounds like a problem

      Sorry, I spoke inexactly. I read alignment as being the problem of non-alignment.

      I'm still not seeing evidence that any "alignment" issues we've actually seen are distinct in class from common bugs. Like, yes, if I accidentally rm* the computer has mis-aligned with my intentions. But that strikes me as a bullshit neologism.
