Children sense the world at a different granularity, attending to parts of the visual world we gloss over; to sounds we have dismissed as irrelevant. What is indiscernible to us is plain to them.
In a way, “experts” have a toddler’s ability to zoom in on the details, the very fabric of experience, that most of us glide adaptively by.

zoom dance ness

how to look at the world before knowing (or without thinking about) the name or function of everything that catches the eye. An infant treats objects with an *unprejudiced equivalence: the plastic truck is of no more intrinsic worth to the child than an empty box is, until the former is **called a toy and the latter is called garbage.

*unconditional ness

*labels, language as control/enclosure/scrambling et al

To the child, as to the artist, everything is relevant; little is unseen.

We’ve built machines that are capable of incredible feats. But Elizabeth Spelke, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the world’s most sophisticated learning system—the mind of a baby. https://t.co/JyN1kNdzxp

It’s Called ai.. but what is intelligence?.. We’ve built machines that are capable of incredible feats, yet still they have nothing on a baby.
a puzzle at the heart of modern artificial intelligence: We’re not sure what to aim for.
“Humans don’t start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills,” he says. “What a strong human chess player is demonstrating isn’t the ability to play chess per se, but the potential to acquire any task of a similar difficulty. That’s a very different capability.”
