Chollet argues intelligence needs grounding in reality, not more reasoning
Overview
François Chollet says on X that intelligence needs grounding in reality rather than more reasoning.
He compares string theory to a system hallucinating after being starved of sensory input. He also says intelligence is rarely the bottleneck on impactful problems, and that iterated contact with reality is.
Elon Musk later posted only a 🎯 emoji, quoting Chollet's remarks without adding text or figures.
