Yann LeCun understands this is an electrical engineering and physical statistics of machine problem and not a code problem.
The physics of human consciousness are not implemented in a leaky symbolic abstraction but the raw physics of existence.
The sort of autonomous system we imagine when thinking AGI must be built directly into substrate and exhibit autonomous behavior out of the box. Our computers are blackboxes made in a lab without centuries of evolving in the analog world, finding a balance to build on. They either can do a task or cannot. Obviously from just looking at one we know how few real world tasks it can just get up and do.
Code isn’t magic, it’s instruction to create a machine state. There’s no inherent intelligence to our symbolic logic. It’s an artifact of intelligence. It cannot imbue intelligence into a machine.
