Ask an LLM a hard question: five options.
Ask an expert: one answer.
That gap is judgment — and it might be the real bottleneck in AI. 🧵

[Spandan Bemby @SuperSpandan]

The path forward is apprenticeship: graduated ownership of small loops — this customer, this campaign, this codebase. Real outcomes, bounded blast radius.
Judgment isn’t articulated. It’s grown — by bearing the cost of being wrong.

3) a process for reflecting on: a) did actions indeed move the needle towards goal, and b) could the actions have been done better eg. faster or cheaper especially if actions are repeated (error correction)

[Spandan Bemby @SuperSpandan]

Effective execution requires:
1) clearly prioritized list of goals (what).
2) a way for converting goals from [1] into discrete actions that can be scheduled and ownership ascribed to (how).

What better way to punctuate the trip?! But to stare into the abyss

@GiveWell Curious, have you ever estimated what percent of total US/world charity spend has been towards an “effective” charity?
