(For context vis-a-vis my enthusiasm about this plan, see this comment. In particular, I’m enthusiastic about fleshing out and testing some specific narrow technical aspects of one part of this plan. If that one narrow slice of this plan works, I’d have some hope that it can be parlayed into something more. I’m not particularly compelled by the rest of the plan surrounding the narrow-slice-I-find-interesting (in part because I haven’t looked that closely at it for various reasons), and if the narrow-slice-I-find-interesting works out then my hope in it mostly comes from other avenues. I nevertheless think it’s to Davidad’s credit that his plan rests on narrow specific testable technical machinery that I think plausibly works, and has a chance of being useful if it works.)
