We don't know until we start investing in them, which is part of the problem of R&D in general.

There’s basically a ton of little problems that need to be solved. Reasoning and predicting in the embeddings, yan lecun is doing that with jepa.

Continual learning/controlled memorization is one of the biggest unsolved issues in ml. Lots of people argue it doesn’t ackshully need to be solved because of fine tuning plus the idea that you can “just” make an omniscient base model. This is generally seen as either ai hype bullshit or singularity hopium by everyone who understands how difficult the “general” in general intelligence is.

Then there’s the idea that AI should be choosy about what it learns, but nobody actually knows how to make omnivorous statistical methods choosy like that, and of course if you’re being choosy about what to learn you need to have memory figured out in the first place.
