>I think that the answer is “AI Alignment” has an implicit technical bent to it. If you go on the AI Alignment Forum, for example, you’ll find more math than Confucius or Foucault.
What an absolutely insane thing to write. AI Alignment is different because it is trying to align something which is completely human made. Every other field is aligned "aligned" when the humans in it are "aligned",
Outside of AI "alignment" is the subject of ethics (what is wrong and what is right) and law (How do we translate ethics into rules).
What I think is absolutely important to understand is that throughout human history "alignment" has never happened. For every single thing you believe to be right there existed a human who considered that exact thing as completely wrong. Selection certainly has not created alignment.
