Using Chain of Thoughts for Advanced Problem Solving
1:52:14 - 2:01:06 (08:52)
The idea of using a chain of thoughts for advanced problem-solving involves a gradual process of building towards more complex solutions, starting with simple cases and scaling up using longer chains of thought to generalize those solutions. This approach focuses on progressing towards a solution rather than forcing a specific outcome.

Summary
The concept of magic is redefined when imagining sending a schematic of an air conditioner back in time. Although people in the past could build it from the instructions, they wouldn't understand how the design outputs cold air without knowing about the laws of reality used in its operation.

The ability to explain the reasoning behind the output of a machine learning system is limited, as the system may produce an output that persuades without explanation.
1:53:45 - 1:57:23 (03:38)
Summary
The ability to explain the reasoning behind the output of a machine learning system is limited, as the system may produce an output that persuades without explanation. Machine learning may achieve its purpose without providing humans with the specific reasoning used to arrive at a decision.

Summary
The need for institutional infrastructure that accommodates disagreement and provides a space to invest money to distribute resources to researchers working on different problems is vital for progress. We need systems that will have a pause button that won't prevent you from pressing it.
