Can I have 2 billion dollars to build UNIVERSE models?

    It’s a cool idea, but I don’t know if it’s $1B cool

    I mean, if you could actually solve that problem, it would be worth a LOT more than 1 billion. I just don't remotely believe that you can solve it for 1 billion. Training costs alone would eat that and more.

    The language learning model has no awareness and will never understand the the real world. You're being sold propaganda from techno oligarchs who want to sell you their garbage data.

    Not that I have any skin of the game or what you’re saying, but his entire pitch is to build something that’s not an LLM

    LeCun argues that most human reasoning is grounded in the physical world, not language, and that AI world models are necessary to develop true human-level intelligence. “The idea that you’re going to extend the capabilities of LLMs [large language models] to the point that they’re going to have human-level intelligence is complete nonsense,” he said in an interview with WIRED.

    I forget the technique he’s going after but it’s supposed to be different from the regular LLM.

    EDIT: if I paid more attention I’d see it’s in the article. World models.
