Anish Acharya(@illscience):This is the best essay of the year: - The dispersion of knowledge is a collective strength; it’s the source of variety, adaptability, and resilience of the overall system. It’s the reason that free markets outperform planned economies. - For artificial intelligence to benefit from distributed knowledge, it must itself be distributed. - [Models] that handle live, multimodal interaction natively, in the model itself rather than in scaffolding bolted around it [allows] interactivity [to scale] with intelligence. - Even with the best intentions, a model shaped in one place inevitably encodes the values of its owner, not the individual users it serves.
