   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.

      And has it at this stage, within in-depth take of said "learning", foundationally?

      I have not been able to properly check the studies for a long time now, but I remain unaware of achieved solutions on the problem of reliably referencing a world model out of a language model - that "counting the 'r's in 'raspberry'" be not guessing, not memory, but actually counting.

         Can you tell me what is the exact frequency of light hitting your eye as you read this comment? Not by guessing, not from knowledge, but from actually counting? No? Then you are not generally intelligent :)

            Justify your statement (the other similar post nearby is not sufficient), or realize that we are not talking about that.

            We can have adequate representations of light that are the instances over which we reason. Your simile is about perception, not about instancing ideas.
