> It’s honestly a bit painful watching the AI field struggle to re-learn first principles that other disciplines have already learned.

This is my fear with software development in general. There's a hundred-year old point of view right next door that'll solve problems and I'm too incurious to see it.

I have a relative with a focus in math education that I've been stealing ideas from, and I think we'd both appreciate a look at your doc if you don't mind.

I think some of it has to do with incentives. Nobody wants to invest in a team to adapt and test other-field lessons that may come out as "there's no free lunch" or "this is equivalent to a hard problem they didn't solve there yet either."

So instead we're more likely to see navel-gazing "singularity" stories that fit with telling your investors they will become fantastically rich.
