And after alignment is solved, I don’t think our work ends. It is human to strive. When I say “it’s your job to improve things” The ‘you’ is pointed at every human seat of consciousness. That’s what they do. They don’t stop wanting to create except out of heartbreak and shame and fear. I think it’s possible that we will one day have good reasons to stagnate, I’m far from sure of it, because peace has varying shades of excellence, and staying at the height of excellence may require ongoing striving too.
