I don't think the elephant can be solved by a tweak to LLMs. Producing a statistically-likely continuation of a pattern is what they do; there is no encoding of the world, just an encoding of language and image data.

A general crossing of that gap is, dare I say it, a problem requiring real intelligence.

I doubt that too. But solving it is essential to the valuations of OpenAI and NVidia.

Wondering whether we will see some combination with Cyc at some point (which tried to solve the „encoding of the world“ problem)
After Doug's recent passing, I sincerely doubt it.
