building & iterating or even using a model feels less like engineering & more like taming a wild animal. or maybe a dragon or something. i.e. you don’t really control it. you obviously train it, you observe it, you maybe provoke it, ofcourse reward it, contain it (safety), then you slowly learn its temperament. you do this with new pets too. but this is all with insanely large levels of intelligence. one very large difference is that the model also starts to *trains you*.
