AI and the Velocity of Thought
Throughout history, technological revolutions have fundamentally altered the course of human progress. From the mastery of fire to the digital revolution, each leap forward has redefined our capabilities and our understanding of the world. Today, we are at the brink of another transformative dynamic: the expansion of cognitive velocity, propelled by advanced large language models (LLMs).
Cognitive velocity, conceptually expressed as dT/dt—the derivative of thought—is more than a mere increase in processing speed. It encapsulates a holistic evolution in our interaction with information, creativity, and logic. This concept represents a synergy between human cognition and the vast knowledge repositories embedded within advanced LLMs. It's not just speed or computing, but something much more interesting and transformative.
The use of dT/dt is not just metaphorical; it draws on the tradition of calculus to represent continuous change. In mathematics, the derivative captures the rate of change at any given point, symbolizing motion and transformation. Applied to cognition, it represents the dynamic, ever-evolving nature of our thought processes when augmented by........
