I pretty much agree—my other title idea was “Why deep learning?”, and it’s based partly on a hoge-poge of notes. My attempts to spice it up a bit didn’t quite work, and the core isn’t something most on LW would find interesting. But that’s all fine, it fulfills a specific niche and back-link reference purpose.
I think after the last 6 years, people would be much more interested in it than they were in BULM which seemed highly speculative and improbable at the time, and it’s an important enough topic that it deserves good writeups. The world is not done with DL or scaling, not by a long shot, and the topic will be interested in most on LW soon enough.
