Illumination

TL;DR -- Machine learning, as AI, grates with the increasing hype of three years duration, so far. How  much longer? This post points to work that has plenty of poetntial to help right the ship that founders.

This is a brief technical overrview about necessary work. 

Real but unseen. Mostly ignored, for reasons that we can discuss. Basically, the psychology of the modern era that has gone off course. 

The LLM (and their GenAIs associates) can be useful. I wish to introduce them to a big brother they ought to have known. 

https://lnkd.in/gECn-HrX  KBE used ICAD and demonstrated truth engineering 

"For example, at Airbus UK, the design of Wing spars was reduced from 480 man weeks to 12 - a 97.5% lead-time reduction. Similarly, Jaguar Cars saw a 94% lead-time reduction in XK8 body panel development, and their collaborative headlamp program was reduced from 8 weeks to only 2 days."

And, this was precision work. Not mindless pretend by misusing mathemtical computing.

CAD to KBE (ICAD) to ...
(dated but meant to show a point and an
example for saving machine learning

How does machine learning fit in? That was shown decades ago which lessons apply now. To discuss? KBE would have kept AI on track; several themes along this line deserve discussion and experimental attention.

Wait, was my initial reaction. Kant is key. We can't Kant enough which will be on the table for discussion here (and demonstration). At the time, I started to remind people that there was no "critter" involved. This was applied mathematices which is centuries old. 

Okay, I will now back that up. We'll focus on Cambridge for a bit, but in general consider that Lagrange was a cohort of Kant. The former ran down perturbations of diff eqs; the latter ran down perturbing our brains with his "classical" summary of the western way. 

Right now, here are links that will kick things off.

Hint: normalization gone mad (it's not spring break, yet). And, this applies in a few other areas, too. Not just the wannabe intelligence.
