Beff Jezos notes the odd asymmetry: AI can now crack over 100 open math problems, yet no general-purpose physical AI exists. He invokes Moravec's paradox — evolution spent 1B years on sensorimotor intelligence vs 100k years on abstract reasoning — which explains why perception and motor skills are the hard part for machines.
