Progress is Infinite

[analyst75 12]

The premise is simple…

 

All progress, theoretical and practical, has resulted from one single thing: good explanations.

 

Progress, says Deutsch, is not just about accumulating more facts or data; it's about developing better explanations that help us understand the world more profoundly and act more effectively within it.

 

In this way, he says, progress is virtually infinite.

 

There is no limit to the improvement of explanations. As our understandings deepen, it leads to new questions, new challenges, and new realms for exploration.

 

Since there’s always new things to understand, there’s always room for improvement.

 

Personally, I think this is where AI is going to shine the most. It’s going to help us articulate the unarticulated faster than ever before in history.

 

It’s also going to accelerate the “happy accidents” and synchronicities that sometimes lead to insane breakthroughs.

 

BUT, the caveat here is that progress is unpredictable. And AI probably won’t make things more predictable, especially not in the short run.

 

Probably the opposite.” – Chris C
