Strategy positions

AI skepticmixed

AGI risk narratives overstated; real harms are mundane and current

Argues language-only training underestimates how much intelligence relies on physical embodiment; embodied robotics is a slower but more honest research path.

Disembodied LLMs can mimic many features of intelligence without acquiring the structural understanding that physical interaction with the world produces. We need both, but the latter is what we are skipping.
