> My prior (and present) position is that reliability meeting a certain threshold, rather than being optimized, is a dominant factor in how soon deployment happens.
I don’t think we can get to convergence on many of these discussions, so I’m happy to just leave it here for the reader to think through.
Yeah I agree we probably can’t reach convergence on how alignment affects deployment time, at least not in this medium (especially since a lot of info about company policies / plans / standards are covered under NDAs), so I also think it’s good to leave this question about deployment-time as a hanging disagreement node.
I’m reading this (and your prior post) as bids for junior researchers to shift what they focus on. My hope is that seeing the back-and-forth in the comments will, in expectation, help them decide better.
Yes to both points; I’d thought of writing a debate dialogue on this topic trying to cover both sides, but commenting with you about it is turning out better I think, so thank for that!
