反共识 · Contrarian takes
具身化是通往 AGI 的关键路径，而不仅仅对机器人有用。 Embodiment is on the critical path to AGI, not just useful for robotics.
大型语言模型产生幻觉是因为缺乏具身化的扎根经验，而不仅仅是训练数据的问题。 LLMs hallucinate because they lack grounded experience from embodiment, not just due to training data.
互联网的高质量 token 即将耗尽，但具身世界提供无限数据。 The internet is running out of high-quality tokens for pre-training, but embodied worlds provide infinite data.
强化学习应该只是蛋糕上的樱桃，无监督学习完成大部分工作。 Reinforcement learning should only be a cherry on top, with unsupervised learning doing most of the work.
构建演示很容易，但为所有用例打造稳健产品异常困难。 Building a demo is easy, but making a robust product for all use cases is exceptionally hard.
简单优雅的解决方案是可扩展的，不像学术界常见的复杂模块化方法。 Simple and elegant solutions are scalable, unlike complex modular approaches common in academia.
