To the end of the bullet list in “Nosy Researchers”, add:-

against Feels too swingy to me. Statistically, it doesn’t seem like more than half of the pictures contain humans. Lets say its 40%. Meaning if you get enough data, you’re statistically not going to be able to get “Humans” in your understanding. This means that you’ll likely either get humans in your data early and be able to then stop collecting data, or you’ll get further and further behind as each piece of data you collect is more likely to push you further away from “half your data contains humans”.

[Clucky] Sure. If the Understanding mechanism is a bit flawed as soon as we give its output any meaning, we should do something about that, rather than never giving it any.

yeah, im thinking we should maybe change the qualifiers for how words get into an AI’s understanding? but that’s a future proposal’s job :0

I’d propose to fix Understanding but I’m fresh outta slots.
