Summary

The debate on whether scaling up models or focusing on real-world experience is more effective continues to be a topic in artificial intelligence and modeling discussions. While there are limitations to scaling similar approaches, traditional cryptography offers a successful balance of formality and informality by providing secure protocols under given assumptions.
