See this in AI, where simple algorithms become smarter with more data. Transcript: Naval Ravikant There's a theory, a complexity theory, that whenever you find a complex system working in nature, it's usually the output of a very simple system or thing that was iterated over and Over. We're seeing this lately in AI research. You're just taking very simple algorithms and dumping more and more data into them. They keep getting smarter. What doesn't work as well is the reverse. When you design a very complex system ([Time 0:00:25](https://share.snipd.com/snip/a98cd8ff-8da2-4f04-9b0e-ddbfc9c91f7b))
