It's called alignment. And that's the correct word for it in my opinion.
The most important part is that we have to find a way to tackle the knowledge enshittification problem.
Because now that slopcode and slopposts are everywhere, the average quality level will decrease. We had the peak internet knowledge, and it's now gradually getting worse.
That's not a personal opinion, that's how attention matrixes and their keys/values computation works.

Once it is done crushing, congrats! Everything is aligned.. by being flattened
It was once called 'natural monopoly'
