You appear to be using random words and phrases to intentionally obfuscate the lack of substance in your responses.

There is a baseline expectation of how quotes and citations are supposed to work within Western intellectual circles. The fact that you do not know them and refuse to accept it means either you are not familiar with Western academia or you are an intellectually dishonest Internet troll or an LLM bot.

Spatial reasoning and world models are a research topic because elements of them were found in video and agentic models, and investors want to further refine either of them.

I do not have the time to read through this entire Google doc, but from what I have skimmed, I can see that the most substantial critiques are from academia being honest of the current state of AI and its limitations. That is fine.

However, the opening paragraphs aren't impressive. Language is arbitrary, yes, but they must also be intelligible by other humans. It is like a canvas to pattern match and create all sorts of inductive reasonings. There isn't much to explain how pattern matching math would be inherently incapable of pattern matching the written language. This reads like a basic understanding of postmodernist philosophy as if it is proof of math becoming a failure when applied to a socially constructed reality. However, philosophy and other social sciences do not surrender and give up as if their fields are fundamentally flawed. They make do and continue matching patterns to make observations of social reality.

The burden is ultimately on you to prove that the limitations of current AI/LLM cannot be overcome or that there is something that cannot make world models or spatial reasoning possible. Simply having a mountain of text to read is not an argument. There has to be some summary or point that can be used at the thrust of your position. As they say, brevity is the soul of wit.

You’ve just explained how neither images nor words cohere thought in LKNs Gaussian frontier or otherwise- they are wholly arbitrary. They reference nothing in and of themselves. And investors have been sold a bubble in every model so far. Enjoy the ride!

Humans have created semantic connections of images and words to thoughts, and LLMs learn from the implicit semantic meanings behind the words used in text. Humans after all have to communicate thoughts to each other. If you are correct, then communication would not exist and we would still be apes.

For example, "LKNs Gaussian frontier" is another random phrase you have pulled out as if you are an LLM hallucinating something.

The bubble is in whether the investors will get their return on time. This is orthogonal to the underlying technology. Investor interests are not in progressing technology but to get a profit. Hope you enjoy the ride too because this is going to affect all of us.
