The word “aligned” is being used here in a way that seems subtly different than what I’ve heard before. A quick definition and/or link to the place(s) this usage comes from would be really useful.
I’m not sure there’s a single post explaining the use of “aligned”, but a common use of the phrase on LessWrong is to mean something like “having the same goals as you, or able to act as if they had the same goals as you such that you could grant them arbitrary power and wouldn’t regret it.”
