Artificial general intelligence
For most of my life my working constraint wasn’t intelligence. It was input bandwidth: reading, typing, searching. Every new field demanded months of decoding other people’s notation before I could even start to think independently.
Now with AI as an interface, I can take on any subject directly. I don’t need courses or frameworks. I can open a worked example, trace the logic, and extrapolate. Once you understand all the basic principles (energy balance, feedback, probability, information flow, etc) the rest is substitution.
Using a worked example can compress an entire field of theory into a single learning exercise. Everything else is repetition.
Yesterday, I extended my knowledge of integrated optics and quantum computing to deconstruct what psiquantum are up to. Watching what I did; it’s a well informed version of the Socratic method using AI.
We’re entering an era where curiosity scales. The limit isn’t input bandwidth anymore. It’s imagination, interest and appetite.
