Minor thing to flag: I’ve previously used the phrase “Alignment by Default” for a thing which is very different from the thing this post calls “Alignment by Default”. Roughly speaking, I’ve used the phrase to mean that business-as-usual AI development results in aligned AGI (via e.g. the sort of trial-and-error which normally takes place in research and development).
Is there a better/ more commonly used phrase for “AI is just naturally aligned”? Yours sounds like what I’ve been calling Trial and Error and has also been called “winging it”

Unfortunately I don’t know of a better existing phrase.
I’ll just go ahead and change it to “Aligned By Definition” which is different and still seems to get the point across.
Ooh, good name.
