Diogo Almeida recently argued that data matters more than compute, and that choosing the right task matters even more than data. That reminded me of a framework I wrote down years ago: Model-driven AI → Data-driven AI → Decision-driven AI The distinction was: Model-driven AI mainly applies structures and rules defined by humans. Data-driven AI learns patterns from environmental data and uses them to generate useful outputs. Decision-driven AI would go one step further: learning from decisions, alternatives, context, and outcomes in order to improve how decisions themselves are made. Another distinction I found useful was environment data vs. decision data: Environment data tells you what is happening. Decision data tells you what someone chose to do, under what conditions, and what happened afterward. I’m curious whether this framing makes sense in the current LLM/post-training context. Once models and data become abundant, does the real bottleneck move upward toward choosing the right task and optimizing decision quality? submitted by /u/ia-bin
