I think intelligence is search. Search is exploration + learning. So intelligence is not in the model or in the environment, but in their mutual dance. A river is not the banks, nor the water, but their relation. ARC is just a frozen snapshot of the banks, not the dynamic environment we have.
I agree strongly with this take but find it hard to convince others of it. Instead, people keep thinking there is a magic bullet to discover resulting in a lot of wasted resources and money.
