@michpokrass argues shipping is hard because launch is a low-entropy state: a million ways to derail, only a handful of alignments that work. AI safety researcher David Manheim endorses the analogy, adding that the goal must be an achievable configuration and the cost scales with the log of the fraction of viable states.
