Agentic AI Thinks Like Boyd: The OODA Upgrade LLMs Can’t Touch
chevron_right
Ben Ford, a Royal Marine Commando turned software engineer with expertise in Haskell and category theory, dives deep into agentic AI and the myth of the OODA loop. He argues that traditional AI models are static and inefficient, while active inference offers a more dynamic and energy-efficient approach. Ford explains how real-time model updates allow for continuous destruction and creation, substantially enhancing decision-making. With insights on category theory and its relevance, he challenges conventional thinking about knowledge acquisition and the limitations of current LLMs.
