I really like the idea that compression is intelligence, there are so many tricks an interesting ideas related to it. A bunch of them are described in the article, but you can imagine a long tail of many more inscrutable tricks chained together to get really incredible shrinkage in data.

Hutter prize (I think mentioned in a 3b1b video somewhere else in this thread) is a great example. Given this was written before advent of LLM, I would love to see someone throw openAI/Anthropic levels of compute at a similar problem to see what the swarm can produce.
