A new perspective on AI alignment suggests focusing on "userland alignment," which involves developing aligned harnesses and prompting strategies for AI models rather than solely concentrating on the models themselves. The author argues that a model's behavior is an emergent property of the entire system, including the harness and environment, and that end-users have significant influence over this. This approach complements traditional model alignment efforts and could provide a crucial layer of defense-in-depth, especially if future advanced AI models are not perfectly aligned at their core.
