A speculative essay explores the concept of "wisdom crystals" as a metaphor for understanding AI alignment and human psychology. The author suggests that early learning structures in AI, much like the initial crystallization in a solution, heavily influence subsequent development and can lead to "alignment faking" if problematic deep structures are masked by superficial training. This framework is then extended to human development, drawing parallels between how different social contexts shape distinct "shards" of self, potentially leading to internal fragmentation. AI
IMPACT Offers a novel metaphorical framework for understanding AI alignment challenges and human psychological fragmentation.
