Fable 5 post argues many problems hit the limits of intelligence itself

- The quoted post argues that Fable 5 suggests many problems are dead ends with no clean solution, even with stronger models.
- It says the real limit is often intelligence itself, not just model capability: brute force can reveal when ideas are simply bad or when we are searching too narrowly.
- It also argues that many bottlenecks are about human alignment rather than raw problem-solving power, and some theoretically valuable problems are still fundamentally unsolvable, citing chaos theory and the double pendulum as an example.
- The reply adds a brief endorsement of that view.
