Again, if you accept that a computer can in principle run a program that qualifies as AGI, then all I&amp;#x27;m saying is that an LLM with memory augmentation can in principle be trained to do this as well because their computation power is formally equivalent. And coincidentally, a new paper being discussed on HN is a good example addressing your concern about existing models learning and developing novel things. Here&amp;#x27;s a GPT model that learned physics just by training on a data…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2509.13805/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
