Stop Building AI Tools Backwards

I’ve been reading this week about how humans learn, and effective ways of transferring knowledge. In addition, I’ve also had AI in the back of my mind, and recently I’ve come to the realization that not only is our industry building AI tools poorly, we’re building them backwards. Which, honestly, is really depressing to me because there is so much unrealized potential that we have available–is it not enough that we built the LLMs unethically, and that they waste far more energy than they return
