100% and it seems like we need a whole new architecture to get there, because right now training a model takes so much time.

At the risk of making a terrible analogy, right now we're able to "give birth" to these machines after months of training, but once they're born, they can't really learn. Whereas animals learn something new every day, got to sleep, clean up their memories a bit, deleting some, solidifying others, and waking up with an improved understanding of the world.



Maybe you're on to something. We need AI lions which will eat the models which don't learn or adapt enough.


I love the idea of AI lions, but you still need to find a way to allow models to continue "learning" after they're born—which is PhD worthy.

Right now we train AI babies, dump them in the wild... and expect them to have all the answers.
