Wittgenstein's critique of many philosophical problems that they're like frame control: basically, the words you use trap you into a certain way of seeing the world, and from *that* perspective the problem appears impossible to solve. The phrase 'solve alignment' is like this.
Hence quotes like:
@nabeelqu Very true
this x1000. we're stuck in a concept prison we've built for ourselves over the years, and haven't yet found the right abstractions or vocabulary to make sense of the superEliza effect on steroids. https://twitter.com/atroyn/status/1285405251504271360
@nabeelqu agree
I sometimes worry we have the wrong abstractions and the wrong premises and the whole thing is going to fail to prove soluble because we insisted on committing hard to a particular set of views and implications determined by men of great fervor. Has history taught us nothing?
