We shouldn’t try to build a worse version of a human. We should try to build a better compiler and encyclopedia.

We tried that. It was called Cyc. It never got even close to the level of capabilities a modern LLM has in an agentic harness — even on common sense and reasoning problems!

That sounds like a "get wealthy slowly" plan, while the LLM prophets are more focused on "get rich quick".
