Agreed.. the more i think about it the more it seems there may be nothing meaningful to "understand" past a certain point (not to say we are at that point now).

- ThomPete 9y agoIsn't that what Stephen Wolfram talks about in his "New Kind of Science" book.
- sowbug 9y agoPerhaps the AGI will itself be what helps us pierce that veil of complexity, like an ELI5 that can dumb down its own mechanism for mere humans. Just imagine where we'd be today if we'd had a clone of Richard Feynman in every high-school math and physics class for the past 40 years.
