   LeCun also said back in 2022 that "if you train a machine, as powerful as it could be, your 'GPT-5000', on text", it will never be able to learn basic common-sense physics like that objects placed on tables will move along with them.

      I keep wanting to use LLMs for creative writing that heavily involves physics like this, and it's been a definite struggle to say the least. I recently discovered that Gemini 3.1 Pro is the first model I've found to clearly beat the original November 2022 ChatGPT release in terms of implied physics. Man did the world really take its sweet time to get back here. I think it will continue to be a struggle until another genuine architectural shift happens -- it's still not anywhere close to perfect, just better.

         Try fable. I haven't used it since they dropped it from the pro plan, but when I did, fable 5 casually dropped such advanced electrical and orbital mechanics knowledge in my story that I had to stop and ask it to explain

            I think OP doesn't want techno-babble, but coherent and causal interactions of everyday objects in their story.

            Mary packed the binoculars in chapter 3, therefore she may use them on the train in chapter 6.
