Rumsfeld matrix

Separate concept. Whether something is knowable is separate from whether it is known.

Whether God exists is scientifically unknowable. The shape of a black-hole singularity is currently not known.

  • No, it's the same - because an LLM is not a God. It is not an unknowable. There are very few unknowables.

    • > it's the same

      No, it’s not. Rumsfeld segregated what we know from what we know we know (and vice versa). An unknown (whether known or unknown) may be knowable or unknowable—his framework doesn’t address knowability.

      I tend to agree with you. This has nothing to do with the Rumsfeld comparison being wrong.
