Oliver Sourbut on Second Thoughts

I really like the concise and readable treatment here of experimentation in AI dev! It's the critical piece driving AI-2027's explosive narrative. What they don't account for is that progress (*especially* superhuman progress) in all the other capabilities the AIs are supposed to have *also* requires its own experimentation, one way or another. In turn, this piece somewhat misses that accounting, though quite astutely points out: "The blistering pace leaves no time to leverage real-world experience." I recently wrote a post expanding on this: https://www.oliversourbut.net/p/you-cant-skip-exploration - Introducing exploration and experimentation - Why does exploration matter? - Research and taste - From play to experimentation - Exploration in AI, past and future - Research by AI: AI with research taste? - Opportunities
