The Alignment Journey

Alignment is not a destination—it's an ongoing process. You'll never achieve perfect alignment, but you can build systems that are robust, transparent, and continuously improving. Start with clear principles, gather diverse feedback, test rigorously, and iterate based on real-world performance.
