“Humans, we have a really hard time processing information. The more information you give us, typically the more confused we get.”
“The US Army essentially invented the computer Eniac back in 1943. They were essentially the ones who invented generative AI.”
“Primal intelligence is your ability to be smart with little information. And the reason that your brain has the ability to be smart with little information is because the human neuron, the animal neuron evolved 500 million years ago...”
“The leading edge always appears as an outlier as an anomaly as something weird. And what we started to think is we started to go through these existing theories of intuition... we found out that in fact the operators were not doing [pattern matching].”
“And exceptional information is actually uh uh an outlier. It's something that breaks a rule in your mind. It's the exception to a rule and it's something that's natural for humans.”
“But we found out that in fact the operators were not doing that and we also found that they were able to identify opportunities faster than AI faster than computers and computers are much better at pattern matching than humans.”
“The human brain evolved to act. The human brain has a bias to action because in a biological environment, if you're not acting, you're getting eaten. So the brain always wants to act. And so the purpose of the human brain is to innovate action.”
“The simple way to think about this is you need to match the novelty of your plan to the novelty of your environment. That's what the army says. If today is the same as yesterday, just take your plan off the shelf.”
“So when we work with operators who are very successful, it's not that they don't feel emotions, it's just that their rate of planning and their imagination is so high that they rarely get any emotion spikes because their ability to kind of maintain pace with their environment is such that they never get aggressive and they never get scared.”
“So, the the core of special ops is something that they call force multiplying. Force multiplying. And what that basically means is you drop a couple operators anywhere in the world and they make contact with the people there and turn them into special operators.”
“that manifested itself in the emergence of these things called standardized tests, you know, like the SAT, which essentially taught kids one thing, which is that there's an answer and the system has it. So it taught them, you know, deference, it taught them to go by the book.”
