Hmm, I’m not sure I buy the analogy here. Can’t people just run parametric experiments at smaller scale? E.g., search over a really big space, do evolution style stuff, etc?
But if you couldn’t do that stuff, do you agree cognitive labour would plausibly have been a hard bottleneck?
If so, that does seem analogous to if we scale up cognitive labour by 3 OOMs. After all, i’m not sure what the analogue of “parametric experiments” is when you have abundant cognitive labour and limited compute.
Yeah agree parametric/evolution stuff changes things.
