It’s not about computing power, it’s the inadequate algorithms, and ultimately the lack of scientific knowledge. Nobody has figured out how animal brains provide the plain old common sense you’d find in a fish or a frog, nor do we have any idea how to emulate that in a machine, even though in pure bits/second a 2025 supercomputer easily outperforms a frog. It’s not just robotics or 3D navigation: Veo2 still screws up object permanence, o1-pro still screws up distinguishing small quantities[1], and 99% of AI agents are simply infeasible because they have no clue what they’re doing beyond shallow pattern-matching. [1] I imagine the same is true for o3. We simply don’t know how to make an AI that actually understands what numbers are in the way that toddlers and pigeons do.
