My work here is truly done. Nobody with intellectual integrity can still believe that pure scaling will get us to AGI. GPT-5 may be a moderate quantitative improvement (and it may be cheaper) but it still fails in all the same qualitative ways as its predecessors, on chess, on reasoning, in vision; even sometimes on counting and basic math. Hallucinations linger. Dozens of shots on goal (Grok, Claude, Gemini) etc have invariably faced the same problems. That’s exactly what it means to hit a wall, and exactly the set of obstacles I described in 2022. No hypothesis has ever been given more benefit of the doubt, nor more funding. Pure scaling simply isn’t the path to AGI. Attention was not all we needed. All I am saying, is give neurosymbolic AI with explicit world models a chance. 🫳 🎤
