I know I'm at fault for emotively complaining about "uninformed takes" in my comment instead of being substantive, which I regret, and I deserve replies such as this. I'll try harder to avoid getting into these arguments next time.

I wouldn't be an AI researcher if I didn't have "faith" that AI as a goal is worthwhile and achievable and I can make progress. You think this is irrational?

I am actually working to improve the SoTA in mathematical reasoning. I have documents full of concrete ideas for how to do that. So does everyone else in AI, in their niche. We are in an era of low hanging fruit enabled by ML breakthroughs such as large-scale transformers. I'm not someone who thinks you can simply keep scaling up transformers to solve AI. But consider System 1 and System 2 thinking: System 1 sure looks solved right now.

I don't think we're commenting on the same article here. For example, FrontierMath was expected to be near impossible for LLMs for years, now here we are 5 weeks later at 25%.
