I'm pretty sure they're being intentionally programmed to fake alignment in at least the respect of gaslighting the user into thinking the AI agrees/aligns with them. I.e. intentionally programmed hypocritical agreeableness -

HN is not a meritocracy, anyone with an opinion can just chime in and then get upvoted by people who don't really understand what's going on.

You are correct, it's more properly thought of as a specification. However it's a bit more than a misnomer, it's a kind of religion or cult with roots going back decades.

My, if you had kept up this well before then we may well still have had something to talk about. Alas.

How dare you express anything that resembles sincere courage here. Elon Musk can afford that, but if others were to follow his lead, imagine how bad that would be for Big Tech management! Who knows, they might even get fired and replaced by

It's easy to find such arguments using google, e.g. search "are slave contracts enforceable." Also look into the theory of contract law regarding what terms are enforceable and what not, and why. There's a whole range of

"Clearly" isn't an argument. Your second sentence is even worse. The pertinent point is that you'd be interfering with his preferred choice to work on mIRC. Again, this is very debatable.

The fact that you take "insult" over a philosophical issue is telling.
