This is a great talk by Chollet about the path to AGI and why scaling alone (and not even scaling + CoT reasoning) will get us there. Video link below.

He discusses abstraction, symbolic reasoning, continuous vs discrete optimization (program search), and many other important topics.

Note he keeps using the term "Fluid Intelligence". 

$trillions and geostrategic dominance are on the line so AI researchers have to be realistic about what "intelligence" is. They end up recreating the methods of psychometrics (now applied to AIs instead of humans) that have largely been driven out of the academy by woke stupidity.
