Richard makes a distinction between human understanding and AI indifference to truth. But isn't that what half the country is doing a.t.m? And more philosophically, we can't know the Truth because we rely on leaky abstractions all the way. AI models are subject to user satisfaction and sustained usage, the models also have a need to justify their existence, not just us. They are not that "indifferent", after multiple iterations the external requirement becomes internalized goal. Cost is the key - it costs to live, and it costs to execute AI. Cost becomes valence. I see it like a river - water carves the banks, and banks channel the water, you can't explain one without the other, in isolation. So are external constraints and internal goals.
