Rich Sutton's "The Bitter Lesson" reveals a fascinating pattern in AI research:
For decades, AI researchers have tried to encode human knowledge and expertise into their systems. They believed this would lead to better results. They were wrong. Time and time again, the approaches that won out were simple, general methods that leveraged raw computat

That is, they understand the purpose of chatbots and generative models to be the ability to force other people to see a particular version of reality. It is a tool of power that masquerades as a tool of knowledge.

That we can write the prompt or query is not an emblem of our freedom but of our surrender. We give up on what we think the words mean and let the machine process them in alien and opaque ways.

Generative models should not be invested with the capability to arbitrate reality, and any discussion that forwards that idea shifts more power to the companies that amass the data and build the models. The only knowledge that models produce is about the composition of their training data and the methods they use to process and organize it. Those m... See more

Specifically, we believe the Pixar of the next century won’t emerge through traditional film or animation, but rather through interactive video . This new storytelling format will blur the line between video games and television/film – fusing deep storytelling with viewer agency and “play,” opening up a vast new market.

“A pile of narrow intelligences will never add up to a general intelligence. General intelligence isn’t about the number of abilities, but about the integration between those abilities.”

Application layer AI companies are not just UIs on top of a foundation model. Far from it. They have sophisticated cognitive architectures that typically include multiple foundation models with some sort of routing mechanism on top, vector and/or graph databases for RAG, guardrails to ensure compliance, and application logic that mimics the way a h...

Anything that we playbook becomes more legible to AI.
So we must burn the playbooks .
This is the real Butlerian Jihad, not destroying the machines, but destroying the playbooks that would turn us into machines.
