Introduction
Introduce Purkinje as an AI feedback system inspired by neuroscience.
Discuss the inspiration: modeling the Purkinje neuron and its role in iterative learning.
The Creation of Purkinje
The problem it was designed to solve: processing deeply nested, unstructured data.
Describe how the system was built to analyze human feedback and refine outputs.
Share technical and philosophical challenges encountered during development.
Why Failure Is Essential
Explain how Purkinje uses failures (human corrections) to improve accuracy.
Highlight the iterative process: how feedback loops mimic human learning.
Broader Implications
Explore the potential of AI systems that embrace failure as part of their design.
Reflect on what Purkinje taught you about systems thinking and improvement.
