The first podcast was great. It strengthened my impression that both of you are on top of the big-picture, strategic situation in a way few (if any) other people are (that is, being both broad and detailed enough to be effective).
I’d like to hear you discussion the default alignment plan more. I’d like to hear you elaborate and speculate in particular on how automated alignment is likely to go under various of the plan/effort types.
The orgs aren’t publishing anything much like a plan or planning. It seems like somebody should be doing it. I nominate the two of you! :) no pressure. I do think it should be a distributed effort to refine the default plan and where it goes wrong; your efforts would do a lot to catalyze more of that discussion. The responses to What’s the short timeline plan? were pretty sketchy, and I haven’t seen a lot of improvements, outside of Ryan’s post, since then.
FWIW, I strongly agree with Ryan that big projects benefit from planning. Alignment isn’t a unified project, but it does seem like one in important ways. Like the Apollo program, which had extensive planning, there’s a lot of time pressure, so just doing stuff and getting there eventually won’t work, like it does for most innovations.
