  Japan's loss of innovation is mostly a finance story: companies can no longer get the cheap plentiful bank loans they had in the 70s and 80s.

  Their words

  In the 70s and 80s, Japanese companies could get cheap plentiful bank loans to develop new products and explore new markets. Today, they can't. Innovation is downstream of finance.

  There is no real impediment to models running their own research loop and improving themselves at a far more rapid rate.

  Their words

  Um but I think there's no uh you know real impediment to making that be a much more automated loop where the model itself decides it's going to explore or maybe with a nudge from some people uh at the various highest level like oh why don't you try some new ideas around model architectures that incorporate this and then it will go run lots of experiments uh see which ones work and then those will get incorporated at a much more rapid rate

  Drug companies pile onto the same few already-validated targets, so far less of biology gets explored than could be.

  Their words

  In biomedicine we have a problem called target herding: most companies chase the same biological targets because they are de-risked, which means we explore far less of the biological space than we could.

  Writing AI expectations into each rung of a career ladder is futile when the technology changes by the month; one AI-fluency expectation across every role and level is what works.

  Their words

  So, the most useful thing is not to make it level specific or role specific, but to encourage everyone towards the expectation on AI fluency, which doesn't mean use it as a tech for the sake of tech. It's tech where it's useful, to have good judgment about that, and to have the mindset to be open-minded to explore and try new things.

  AI is an important technology but is not yet a platform, because nothing has been opened up for other apps, experiences and developers to be built on.

  Their words

  there there's a one question we got to back up and really explore which is is AI a new platform and I would argue that it is not yet a new platform. It is an important technology.

  Most of the tech tree will never be explored by anyone at all, which is exactly why the choice of which direction to explore matters so much.

  Their words

  Um, there's just too many interesting ways of combining things. There's too many sort of deep ideas waiting to be uh, discovered and when it you know, not only we, but but nobody ever is going to to discover most of them. So, choices about how to make how to do the exploration actually matter quite a bit.

  AI prototyping ends the era of product managers asking designers to draw an idea, which frees designers for deeper work and lets anyone join the first conversation.

  Their words

  PMs are no longer saying to the designer, hey, can you draw this thing out for me? That frees up designer time to go explore more deeply the stuff they need to go into and it allows anyone to kind of add to that first conversation of where should we go and look further and wider and broader at the option space.

  Making something brand new gives you room to explore new design approaches; the gravity of an existing system bends you back towards conforming.

  energy

  Their words

  The gravity of existing decisions in current systems requires so much energy to reach escape velocity that you tend to conform rather than explore. Essentially you're bent back to where you started, rather than arcing out towards a new horizon.

  Curiosity is the thing AI has not cracked: a model can research a question thoroughly, but it cannot decide which question is worth asking.

  Their words

  What makes humans special though, is our curiosity. Even if AI’s cracked this, it’s us still asking them to go explore something. And one thing that I feel like AI’s haven’t cracked yet, is being naturally curious and coming up with interesting questions to understand the world and going and digging deeper about them.

  Learning from failure accumulates as psychic scar tissue that narrows what a person is willing to consider as they get older.

  Their words

  as you age, you just naturally build up all of this all of this sort of psychic scar tissue and you have all these cautionary lessons in your in your head all the time. And you just you and and therefore as a consequence, right? Your your aperture of what you're willing to explore as you get older just shrinks.
