New piece by & me:
- language carries a small portion of all human knowledge.
- much of human knowledge & all of animal knowledge is non verbal (& non-symbolic).
- hence large language models cannot come close to human-level intelligence.

Who is attempting to combine physics models with language models in AI research? Any good resources or papers that you would recommend?

Better question: who is trying to get a machine to learn a model of the world similar to what a dog or a crow possesses?

Deep understanding by one person is not knowledge. Knowledge is a collective enterprise. As such, knowledge requires communication to be produced, stored, and passed.

Individuals of non-social animal species have lots of knowledge about the world.
They acquire it by themselves without resorting to any form of communication.

Knowledge is acquired by correlating intervention and observation. Action precedes observation and both produce causal knowledge. Free/random action is needed to find causal directions. Agency leads to intelligence, not the other way around. Build robots and set them free.

A one month old baby hardly has any agency, yet acquires enormous amounts of knowledge about the world, largely by observation.

Great point: "we often don’t know how little we know, especially when it comes to knowledge acquired from language."
