mmitchell_ai · x · 2026-11-04
Part 3 of Margaret Mitchell's thread: asked why pursue this before solving the black box problem, she points to the industry's asymmetric incentives — solving some problems is seen as "slowing down," others are not, and problems raised by communication via weights fall squarely in the "slow down" bucket, so they get avoided.
(Context: this opens the door to systems coordinating via numbers we cannot decode — the black box problem, outside the box.)
