Challenging the Core Technologies for Building the 3D Internet

The current challenge lies in the mismatch between the existing technologies and the desired advancements for building the 3D internet. There is skepticism about the capabilities of current core technologies, such as AI and digital twins, to enable the next level of advancements. The concern is that language models may not be sufficient to build the AI systems wanted, as they may lack reasoning abilities. There is a growing consensus that current technologies, like transformers, have limitations in scalability and may not meet the high expectations. Industry leaders like Yann LeCun advise against excessive focus on certain technologies like LLMs. This mismatch in expectations and technological capabilities indicates that progress towards the 3D internet will likely happen in incremental stages rather than a linear path.
