parenting is also like ai training. Pre-training: them constantly observing you (+ others, environment). SFT: narrate their actions and narrate your actions (labeled data), also "i'll do it first, then you try". RLHF: whatever you give them attention for, they do more of.
At the end of the day, training a model is not that far from raising a kid. You want the model to have all the best of a human being — kind, patient, knowledgeable and curious.

I think that when 95%+ of right-brained demographics say that the vibe is off on something despite lacking strong arguments—the L-brainers should just defer because they can’t read gestalts in the same way.
