The Value of Setting Ambitious 10x Goals
Setting very ambitious goals, even if they seem impossible, can lead to innovative problem-solving and new approaches. Difficulties often scale sublinearly, meaning a 10x harder problem may only be 2-3x harder to execute on. By challenging the constraints, it forces reevaluation and the potential to find new, more effective solutions. This approach requires going against the community's beliefs and thinking outside the conventional boundaries. The example of the deep learning revolution in computer vision demonstrates the power of pursuing a 10x improvement rather than incremental advances. By seeking a more scalable system like neural networks, significant progress can be achieved.
