Yup, you articulated what I was trying to say but much more clearly (thanks!). I suppose I haven't tried just setting n=3 or something, but presumably the Jev docs would mention that if it were enough to get it from 1 figure to 2 (i.e. 90% -> 99%). I agree that there are places where 90% certainty can help, but it really needs to be an agential system; when a doctor runs more tests, they are experimentally engaging with empirical reality in a context-appropriate way.

I guess, in the end: I think it'll end up being fantastically useful for artificial engineers with their vastly superior ability to keep track of fine details and rapidly context switch, but fairly niche for any of us organic engineers that are left.

All that doesn't apply to low stakes stuff like games, though -- can't wait for the first truly open world game, NGL. A silver lining to the cobalt cloud?
