Why Your Newborn Already Knows Physics (And Why LLMs Still Can't)
Inside the biological tricks that let three-pound brains outlearn trillion-parameter machines — and the radical new architectures trying to close the gap
A human baby, fresh out of the womb, cannot hold up her own head. She cannot focus her eyes past about a foot. She cannot, by any reasonable measure, do much of anything.
And yet, before she has taken her first nap, she already understands that solid objects don't pass through walls, that people have intentions, that some quantities are bigger than others, and that the helpful stranger leaning over the bassinet is preferable to the one who just snatched a toy away.
