Two combined challenges: choosing an alignment target, our vision for how systems should behave, and solving the technical problem of aligning systems with it. Frameworks for decomposing the technical problem (training stories, outer and inner alignment, inductive biases) and the critiques of them; how goal-directedness raises the stakes; and a survey of how hard and how severe people take the problem to be, alongside the spread of solution approaches the field pursues.
