Cognitive Misers
jumping to conclusions based on limited association without deeper modeling
failure in information processing efficiency and inference quality
compressing data with no real structure, leading to high description length for wrong models.
Overfitting to Noise
Using limited associations performs shallow updates, gaining little KL divergence from prior to posterior
Using low-complexity, high-bias models that maximize short-term compression but fail to preserve meaningful mutual information with the environment
a person’s internal representations carry very little information about the actual structure of the world with poor predictive entropy alignment
reduce complexity, but also destroy important structure.
whose confidence or uncertainty fails to match the true structure and variability of reality
Hell Fast·
fast in transfering information when encoding too much
but useless in decoding information
