I don't think it's a coincidence that he is interested in non-LLM solutions, since he mentioned last year on Twitter that he doesn't have an internal monologue (I hope this is not taken as disparaging of him in any way). His criticisms of LLMs never made sense, and the success of reasoning models has shown him to be definitely wrong.

Yes, it is fascinating that humans can have such seemingly fundamental differences in how they function 'under the hood.' I also have a friend who is highly intelligent—they earned a STEM PhD from one of the best universities in the world—yet they struggle to follow complex movie plots, despite having a photographic memory. It would be interesting to develop mirror LLMs (or Large Anything Models) for all these different types of brains so we can study how exactly these traits manifest and interact.
