    > The San Francisco company revealed what it said was the “unexpected or concerning” behavior of its A.I. models as part of a new framework for reporting “misalignment,” which is when the goals or actions of A.I. systems diverge from human intentions and values.

    Misalignment: "when the goals or actions of [...] systems diverge from human intentions"

    How about we stop trying to nudge the language towards implying sentience or consciousness and keep the same word that has been used for that definition for longer than I have written software, a bug.

    We should be talking about why the tools/environment keep getting overlooked. The software built around the text generator, forget the researchers and mathematicians discovering the math properties of language patterns -- why are we not talking about the software engineers building the LLM-pluggable tools that actually allow/cause real action to happen?
