The Pile Is the Bottleneck

Captions available

The idea

A learner is exactly as good as its examples are representative — learning relocates the knowledge bottleneck from the rule-writer's pen to the data's provenance.

In practice

A log kept only on sunny days teaches the stall's winters nothing; records reflecting biased decisions teach the bias as truth.

Where people slip

The learner cannot tell recording accidents from reality — skew arrives with the same confidence as fact.
