Epic summary, Gary --- and lots of gold nuggets! I, for one, am glad that your views are finally being heard, despite all the gaslighting over the last 3 or 4 years and still rampant wishful thinking now. Please keep speaking up and bring to us more realistic and clear-headed views on AI, because we need them to make real progress.

I have been *stunned* at LeCun, perhaps naively. Through pure chance, I encountered theorists who made me extremely skeptical of the relationship between these types of agents and what was historically meant by "AI" and now by "AGI"; later, working with ML made me even more skeptical. To see people I once considered opponents in this debate silently switching sides has been shocking to me, but probably shouldn't have been (anymore than seeing founders trumpet their current fixations and enterprises before later pretending they never bought the hype is).

Love your work, of course!
