How First Principles Thinking Led To The AI Breakthroughs

First Principles Thinking is the path of the scientist and philosopher. It can be a powerful tool for unlocking your creativity, solving problems more effectively, and finding greater success in both your personal and professional life. We go from the techniques of the ancients Aristotle and Socrates to the current explosion of Artificial Intelligence.

Happy New Year to all of you! I'm very excited for 2023 and hope I can provide you with many thought provoking videos! If you want to support my work, please consider becoming a channel member :)

Love your style of explaining concepts. As suggested in your bio ' digging down the rabbit hole' truly helps to comprehend majority of the concept without leaving any doubts. Keep up the great work!

I'm surprised you didn't use first principles as a part of your segue to channel memberships 😊

[@kingki1953]

learning about first principles, i have one of best example. I have read "Sophie World" novel and this novel thought me how to think like "scientist and philosopher". As summary, you need to be like the protagonist, Sophie. A child with less knowledge lead it to philosophy journey with her secret teacher. I can't tell you all because i have not read all of pages. 😅 I wonder how our first consciousness AI would named, i think we need to name it "Sophie"!

This reminds me of the second brain method in distilling, by breaking down information into it's base elements we can get pure information that's both easy to understand and easy to combine. Kind of sounds like finding the first principles of a page to me

Love it. Great insights. I hope the marketing people don't catch on to this term and start pitching their companies as "based on a first-principles strategy" or some such.

Interesting video and awesome thumbnail! Really Appreciate your content.

Awesome video and great job Till! Really appreciate your work. When it comes to the tree with the branches of knowledge I'd recommend you check out Gregg Henriquez work and his "Tree of knowledge system". It has a temporal dimension (physics first, then chemistry, then biology, then psychology, then social sciences) and gives philosophical as well as scientific reasoning as for how each plane of existence (Matter, Life, Mind and Culture) emerge out of the previous. Gregg also argues that the way of understanding each emergence is specific for that specific plane of existence (and that's why you don't try to explain psychology in terms of physics for example).

According to Wikipedia, a primitive notion is "a concept that s not defined in terms of previously-defined concepts". Is there any difference between a primitive notion and a first principle?

[@whatsup3519]

I have a question.Why some people become liberal,or conservative? What r the social reason,or factors behind it?pls, make a video about it.

[@FacetimeHamster]

Anyone have any books to recommend on this topic?

[@tommyhuffman7499]

You want to learn mathematics and low-level computing. That's what first principles is.

Will the A.I take human jobs?

A new year doesn’t mean shit. Should’ve started long ago
