“We have slightly different ideas about world models. But he would say, I don't think we're close because we don't really have world models and neither of us I think are satisfied with the current thing that some people call reasoning but neither of us think is robust enough.”

“On Tower of Hanoi, Herb Simon solved it in 1957 with a classical technique that generalizes to arbitrary length whereas the LLMs do not generalize to arbitrary length and face problems. And so I could go through more but the gist of it is I don't see the qualitative problems that I think need to be solved.”

“It works better for things like math where you can verify that the the augmented data are better. And so I think we're already running against that, kind of like bottleneck on 1 of the, let's say, raw resources that go in at least into the current approaches.”

“I take I take even, like, don't make illegal moves in chess to be a form of the alignment problem, like a very simple microcosm of the alignment problem, and they're still struggling with that.”
