> I love that "system 1" and "system 2" are tossed out as fundamental concepts of mind when they're basically labels for some semi-random ideas based on bullshit studies in a pop sci fluff book. Is there any actual science that ties these ideas to mathematical reasoning? I think this fails to hit the mark on what people actually care about with regards to system 1 vs system 2. It’s really just, can we build models that are able to vary how long they think about a problem? Current AI models are very limited in this aspect and I think most would agree that being able to think about a problem for a period of time is a useful feature that we humans use all the time.
