The framing
Building a machine that learns the way people know. Every major intelligence system we have learns the same way. It reads the world’s data, the text and images and recordings, gathered at scale and mostly without asking, and it learns the world from the outside. That approach has produced powerful tools, and it has also produced something else: knowledge stripped from the bodies and cultures that made it, learned without consent, abstracted away from the people it came from. There is one kind of knowledge this approach cannot reach, what a body knows through movement, what it feels while moving, the culture that trained it, and the ground that conditioned it. That knowledge does not live in scraped data. It lives in people.
