..But a profit-driven industry bullied us into inserting it everywhere; into our homes and schools and public spaces, before we really understood the risks. This resulted in decades, if not centuries, of illness, injuries, deaths, and the astronomical financial burden of trying to remove the stuff."

Also, this bubble is different. The railroad bubble left railroads, the fiber bubble left fiber, and so on. The AI bubble will leave data centers full of dead or soon dead GPUs that no one can afford to run anyway.

They area trying to overcome the cluelessness of LLMs about the world. LeCun has said LLMs are dumber than a cat. He's correct but more representations and computation won't solve the problem as animal and human intelligence isn't all "in the head".
