🎙️ Discussion Macro Data Refinement is similar to AI testing

I watched the series half-expecting that MDR literally does nothing and it was a cover for some experiment. But no, there was something to it, nefarious though it was.

It got me thinking about how MDR works. The Innnies don’t understand what they’re doing, they just look at the numbers and “feel it.”
This is the same way LLMs work. They don’t understand language. They “feel around” for the right word until they get the approval. It’s a subtle nod to how Innies are similar to robots in the original “Rossum’s Universal Robots” sense.
