There's a big difference between learning to solve problems on your own and learning to look up existing solutions. If you want to unlock your potential, learn the former. If you want to unlock AI's potential, teach it the former. The goal is to memorize as little as possible

Naive, self-conceived attempts before you engage with established knowledge are my favorite and (for me personally) most effective way to learn.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Fantastic! I used to teach students that nothing should be memorized. Everything can be derived. Then you know the potential and limitations of whatever you're using to solve problems. With invention, I can't count the number of things I've invented and found it already exists.

As self-taught and inexperienced in a field, what seems hard to me is to know what previous knowledge you'll need to look for your own solutions, what'd be the starting point?

Knowledge is compression

That is so true! We are easily influenced by what we read and if memorised, it almost becomes a belief that is hard to shift afterwards. Memorised information is not always understood and it’s evident when it’s used out of context and leads to errors. Understanding is everything

I think
@Kurz_Gesagt explained recently how memory is part of the intelligence toolbox. Maybe you're being a little harsh on memory. It would be nearly impossible to solve any problem if everyone had to reinvent calculus in order to pass a physics class, don't you think?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.
