Creating these clear chains of reasoning that fluidly and quickly flow through the developmental pipeline or “simulated departments” strikes me as something that AI systems might be significantly better at than humans”

“So to paint a picture of what this might look like - the act of opening hundreds of tabs of things that interest you could automatically create a landscape of your interests — their relationships could be identified, visualized, or acted upon in meaningful ways.”

“This topic is close to my heart as 3D printing was my personal gateway into a STEM career — and remains the basis for much of my work as a designer and engineer!”

“What if we had a method to feed in housing data, interpret how much each datapoint impacts the price of a house, and automatically estimate the value of every home?…”

“If a system is well modularized it can be sustained and even improved, and over time the systems that mend and adapt the best are the ones that stick around.”

“These are all examples of complex systems that evolve over time and have many interacting parts — and as such, they’re all instances where traditional, reductive problem-solving doesn’t work….”

“evolution in a dynamic environment is also a dynamic process - the goal for “what to optimize for” is constantly changing…”

“a years-long rabbit hole which now influences my technical R&D everywhere…”
