Fuzzy Vision, Concrete Next Step (Altman Heuristic)

Biddle attributes to Sam Altman the planning heuristic of holding an ambitious, deliberately 'fuzzy' long-term vision and working relentlessly toward it, while always keeping a concrete, executable next step defined in the near term.

This pairs a GLEE Model (Get Big, Lead, Expand)-style multi-decade vision (necessarily imprecise that far out) with near-term discipline, and is the same shape as running Placing Bets (Strategy-as-Bets Framing) in parallel: fuzziness is resolved not by predicting the future in detail but by taking the next concrete, testable step and letting results update the plan.
