The Bitter Lesson

This article from 2019 documents how scaling computation always outperforms building human reasoning into systems.

And some modern commentary:

I don’t believe humans are meant to be bound to screens at a desk writing boilerplate code for half of their waking hours.

I don’t believe humans are meant to sift through reams of legal documents searching for specific information.

I don’t believe humans are meant to painstakingly transcribe hundred year old documents into a digital format.

I do believe we’re meant to create.

I do believe we’re meant to inquire into the nature of truth.
