Axioms are not like the others, they’re assumed to be true even before considering any evidence or even arguments.

Yesss… You’re not wrong, but I really do believe the solution we want is to be found somewhere in that direction. Considering the Google graveyard, the faang crowd isn’t all that reliable either.

This is a somewhat surprising position to see in the fediverse…

(I mean, I get what you’re saying, and I guess someone should bring that to the party, but there is s different way)

Sounds reasonable, but a lot of recent advances come from being able to let the machine train against itself, or a twin / opponent without human involvement.

As an example of just running the thing itself, consider a neural network given the objective of re-creating its input with a narrow layer in the middle. This forces a narrower description (eg age/sex/race/facing left or right/whatever) of the feature space.

Another is GAN, where you run fake vs spot-the-fake until it gets good.
