Science and Exponential Progress
François and Lex discuss how science progresses linearly despite exponential resource consumption and how exponential progress triggers exponential friction. They explore how the more progress science makes, the more overheads are created in terms of communication across researchers and the exponentially expensive equipment required for practical experiments. They also touch on the idea that there's no way of escaping this kind of friction with artificial intelligent systems.In this clip
