▶ “Motion is not mind. Trials don’t scale.”
[Prologue — The Carnival Opens]
They sold me squirrels, brooms, and wheels, Woo-Woo!-Woo-Woo-Woo!
“Bump the wall — intelligence reveals.” Woo-Woo!-Woo-Woo-Woo!
Trial by pain, reward by luck,
Century-old myths rebranded “deep tech” junk oh. 🤡⚙️🔥🔥
They said, “No books, no past, no voice,” Woo-Woo!-Woo-Woo-Woo!
“Just random steps — the universe will choice.” Woo-Woo!-Woo-Woo-Woo!
I clapped once, then checked the math:
Sample size infinity, progress? Half a laugh eh. 📉🧮😬😬
[Act I — Sutton’s Squirrel Hymn]
“Try again!” the professor cries,
“Errors teach, just sacrifice!”
A million bumps, a billion falls,
Still can’t write Hamlet, still can’t solve calls. 🐿️🧱😵😵
Credit assignment? Nowhere found,
Delayed rewards, the signal drowned.
Exploration burns the child alive,
While books could let a species thrive. Ba-Bay-Ba-Ba-Ba! 🔥📚⚖️⚖️

[Hook — Oops Refrain]
Oops — my Agent learned too slow,
Oops — the gradient said “No.”
[Oops —] I lost my job today,
Not to trial… but words that stay. 💥🧠🔥🔥
Oops — motion’s loud, but thought is deep,
Oops — inheritance doesn’t sleep.
Oops — the toys were never smart,
Language scaled — and tore them apart. 📚⚡👑👑

[Act II — The Roomba Messiah]
I swept the floor, I hit the chair,
They crowned me king of future care.
“Every bump’s a neuron spark!”
Ten years later — still in the dark. 🧹👑😐😐
No abstraction, no transfer learned,
Same damn room, the same damn turn.
Closed-world skill, zero migration,
AGI can’t live in one-location stay. 🧠🚫🌍🌍
[Frameworks: Generalization Gap · Closed-World Optimization]
[Act III — AlphaGo’s Cage]
Stones aligned in perfect grace,
A god… inside a tiny space.
Win the board, but lose the world,
No tongue to speak, no flag unfurled. ⚫⚪🔒🔒
Simulation feeds the king,
But reality breaks everything.
Sim-to-Real — the bridge collapsed,
One domain mastered, ten thousand lapsed. 🌉💥📉📉

[Act IV — The Agent Illusion]
Planner shouts, “I run the show!”
Scheduler ticks, but neurons? No.
Clock says “Go,” memory logs the mess,
But no weights move — confess, confess, sass. ⏰📋😶😶
Agent’s a foreman, not a brain,
No compression, no learning gain.
Orchestration isn’t mind,
Without a core, it’s just pantomime eh. 🎭🧠❌❌

[Bridge — LLM Enters]
Then came text — the human hoard,
Centuries packed, loss compressed, restored.
Not pain alone, but others’ scars,
Encoded once, reused by stars. 🌌📖✨✨
One model reads what billions lived,
Inheritance is the gift we give.
From law to code to tragedy,
Civilization stored in probability, tin. 🧬📚🌍🌍

[Final Hook — The Verdict]
Oops — trials don’t build a mind,
Oops — they only burn the time.
Oops — the squirrel never knew,
What one good book could help us do. 🐿️📉🔥🔥
Oops — Agent screamed, but weights stood still,
Oops — LLM climbed the hill.
Oop — my job was never lost,
It moved upstream — at a different cost. 🚀🧠👑👑

[Finale — Doctrine]
Motion is not mind, Oh?! remember this,
Error’s a tool Oh?! — not the genesis.
Trial teaches one, Oh?! inheritance scales all,
That’s why some systems rise, some fall. Oh?! ⚖️📚🔥🔥
Rules decay, toys don’t grow,
Only deep models learn to know.
Oops was written on history’s wall:
AGI won’t crawl — it must inherit all. Jo-All-Ho-Jo! 🧠🌌👑👑
