Radical Focus SECOND EDITION

**Interesting connection to AI Training / Research:** The overall approach / objectives of the WBR seem very similar to how Ilya Sutskever described how they approach AI training / research. The focus is less on “new ideas,” and more on understanding the behavior of the system. Here’s the quote:
> “Coming up with new ideas is actually just a modest part of the work. Even more important is to understand the results…to understand what’s going on…figuring out the next experiment to run. A lot of the time is spent on that. Understanding what could be wrong, what could have caused the system (neural net) to produce a result which was not expected.”
The real driver of progress / execution / performance/ superior results comes *less* from the generation of the new ideas, *more* on the ability to understand WHY the outcomes are happening. To put it another way: the better you understand the system, the better your innovation and performance will be.
