Jensen Huang said of rogue AI agents: "We all need to hope it's an engineering problem. If it's not an engineering problem, it's not solvable." Gary Marcus pushes back: what if LLMs simply aren't a stable enough foundation and no adequate engineering solution is in view? The exchange highlights the fragility of assuming alignment is just another engineering task.
