@GaryMarcus That's the intriguing part, China's supposed "Sputnik moment" doesn't land it in "space." Everyone is failing at it miserably, and will continue to do so for a long while.

Freaking out about o1/r1/o3 being tantamount to AGI when these systems can’t even reliably play chess as well as 1970’s vintage chess computers is like freaking out about a drone invasion in 1982.

AGI is gonna come, someday, but we still have some time.

#DeepSeek-R1 is exciting, but in #chess it’s shockingly weaker than a 2020-era GPT-2! It made frequent illegal moves, blunders, and lost in fewer than 20 moves. The takeaway? Even cutting-edge #LLMs can fail in specialized domains without proper training. Thread+blog post🧵⏬ 1/6
