Perplexed Means Progress

by metavalent

It is sooo GOOD to be confused in pursuit of understanding. That means there is still a chance for learning.

As soon as we think we’ve got it all figured you, we’re toast. We are either in growth or atrophy, in every aspect of our lives.

Can you have a conversation with an AI where it feels like you talk to Einstein, or Feynman, where you ask them a hard question they’re like, ‘I don’t know,’ and then after a week they did a lot of research and come back and just blow your mind? If we can achieve that that amount of inference compute, where it leads to a dramatically better answer as you apply more inference compute, I think that would be the beginning of real reasoning breakthroughs. — Aravind Srivivas
