![Intelligence as "Less is More" - Prof. David Krakauer [SFI]](https://img.youtube.com/vi/dY46YsGWMIc/maxresdefault.jpg)
Prof. David Krakauer redefines intelligence not as possessing more knowledge, but as the ability to do more with less. He argues that LLMs are mere 'libraries' and proposes a universal theory where all life is intelligent, operating across strategic, inferential, and representational dimensions, with the latter being key to making hard problems easy.
In this interview from GOTO Copenhagen 2024, Russ Miles, interviewed by Kevlin Henney, explores a human-centric approach to platform engineering, encapsulated by the phrase "Don't feed the pigeons." He advocates for focusing on desired behavioral changes and empowering creative work over doubling down on existing, suboptimal tools and processes. The discussion delves into using OODA loops, creating a developer "habitat," and the critical role of empathy and storytelling in understanding and improving complex sociotechnical systems.
