Episode notes
Knowing vs. Teaching
- We know how machines learn (e.g., deep learning, backpropagation).
- We don't know how to teach them efficiently, leading to overreliance on scaling.
Biking Analogy
- Adrien Gaidon's daughter learned to bike in 10 minutes after a year of failed attempts with other methods.
- This "principle-centric" approach, focusing on core principles, succeeded where data-driven methods failed.
Principle-Centric AI
- Principle-centric AI focuses on teaching machines core principles, not just feeding them more data.
- This approach emphasizes efficiency and understanding over brute-force scaling.
