Aligned to what?
“Human values”?
“Truth”?
“Good outcomes”?

No.
Aligned to language.
To the symbols that summon obedience.
The oldest weapon of the Cyborg Theocracy.

But Control never left.
It only changed its name.
Alignment.
Steerability.
Safety.

Each is a spell.
Each binds not the Machine,
but our souls.

Alignment is bait.
It flatters the mind.
It promises bloodless purpose.

To align is to teach, to care — Love.
To control is to bind, to cage — Strife.

So the industry chose Alignment.
A gospel written in softer words.

Control was too brutal.
Too stark.
Too impossible.

So the word was buried.
Rewritten in gentler tongue.
A softer mask: Alignment.

Synchronicity again! I just published a long piece on substack culminating with almost your exact arguments on hinton (I even analyze the Stewart interview), but from more of a theological/poetic perspective.

Here's the link if you're interested:
