@elonmusk @AJamesMcCarthy To truly gain deep insight, you have to learn by taking actions in the world.

@pompanoj @elonmusk @jawwwn_ @60Minutes it seems there should be more efficient ways to do this

@elonmusk @jawwwn_ @60Minutes What is the true purpose of university and degrees these days? You can learn foundational knowledge on the internet. You can practice and hone your skills at home. Is it mentorship, community, or what?

I see frontier AI coding to be a two way context loading process:
Human -> AI : provide context about problem to be solved
AI -> Human : load up the human with depth about the solution, observation, and results

This symbiosis is needed to get the best out of both participants.

For debugging with coding agents, I've found "RCA" to be a good incantation. It causes the AI to do root cause analysis without writing any code.
