Part of the challenge we face with LLM deployment is that knowledge and reasoning ability are not fundamentally text-based. The text-generating capabilities of the language model are taken to wrap a domain of intelligence, but the space beyond the threshold of the chat interface is dark and ill-mapped, bounded in ways not yet fully understood. The current frontier bet — the "world model" as predictor of visual or physical continuations — risks recreating similar integration issues at a different layer. Despite the probable value as they mature in limited domains, reality itself is fundamentally not visual or physical. It's an information space of interrelated concepts.
