You are arguing completely beside the original point. Gato was just meant as one surprising example out of many to show how much more the architectures we already have today are capable of. Whether you believe how the scaling curve for this very particular model will work in detail is totally irrelevant to me or anyone else and I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I was just pointing out that there is a clear direction for future research and if you think people like Carmack are on the wrong path - so be it. You don't have to pursue it as well. But I don't care and he certainly doesn't either.
I understood your argument, in the context of the discussion we've been having, that Gato was a good example of us being on a good path towards building intelligent machines. I do not think Gato demonstrates that.
