I think the way people have been using the word 'aligned' is usually in the context of moral alignment and not just RLHF for instruction following.

philosophical nit picking here, I would say value-aligned rather than moral-aligned.

If I may be so naive, what's supposed to be the difference? Is it just that morality has the connotation of an objective, or at least agent-invariant system, whereas values are implied to be explicitly chosen?

How is trying to distinguish morals from values not philosophical nit-picking?

To be fair, he did admit it is philosophical nit-picking.
