And obviously when you're thinking of building any system or distributed system or whatever, like all lookups and all relevant bandwidths between different
Components are very different, right?
And retrieving something from L1 cache is very different to retrieving from RAM.
It's very different from retrieving across the network or whatever.
And I think it's like that with knowledge, where fine, yes, you can ask the agent or something to compute something for you or to look something up for you, whatever.
But that's a hell of a lot slower than knowing it in cognitive L1 cache.
And you can have way more round trips in your brain than you can
you know, muttering through, you know, Super Whisper or typing it out or whatever.
And so I think even granting the full capabilities of the models, I still think there's a pretty, like, I think for a long time to come, neuronal lookups will be much faster.
And...
And then if you look in revealed preference at what companies themselves are doing, whether they're companies like Stripe or The Labs or what have you, there still seems to be an enormous premium on cognitive ability.
And so I think renouncing that before there is evidence that we've saturated those benefits would be premature.
I still write myself.
Like, I...
I don't... I both philosophically, but also specifically, substantively, dislike the writing of the models.
I mean, it's very interesting, right?
Because these can prove the Jacobian conjecture, you know, whatever.
And so clearly they're capable of these monumental feats.
But somehow, I still haven't read the LLM essay that I found super compelling.
Now, it is just very hard to, like, RL limit that domain because the, you know, the...
