Oh look more rhetoric the grammatical rules for which only make sense within themselves in some reductive recursive way until the point is achieved and the syntax structure ends

I can do that too. What obligation to accept this has any meaningful relationship to my existence?

I agree with Lecun there is no intelligence embedded implicitly to language syntax; but he's wrong about code because it does capture an observable physical state relative to a machine.

Context matters.

The same has yet to be said of human semantics as awareness of them is never uniformly distributed.

That's why small models uniquely tuned to local context and ability will eventually succeed as everyone will just run their own little inference loop on their device telemetry and IO

And then with our local hospitals compute infra perhaps we can synthesize designer personalized drugs rather than continue with over-centralized planning

Maxwell's equations didn't work until he quit trying to account for entirely simulated abstraction levers and pulleys because that's how physical reality works. We don't have to simulate all states of biology just hot fix over time.

For a long time AI was presumed to never be workable until "why do reality/physics/big bangs/black holes exist?" was resolved. Hm.

But language is leaky abstraction and never meant to be fully representative of reality. Just some lightweight cognitive triggers to light up neural happy paths that invoke memory of sensory input; education.

It's what language is for and what it does.

This is just a restatement that life is about chasing utility. I agree. But utilitarian systems designed for a purpose do 100% exist.
