AGI Still Decades Away, Lacks Core Cognitive Primitives
The author argues AGI isn't imminent because key cognitive primitives are action-grounded, and current LLMs lack that coupling. Thesis: without embodied feedback loops, primitives like number sense and spatial navigation do not reliably emerge from text scaling alone.
