This episode features Dr. Maxwell Ramstead and Jason Fox both from Noumenal discussing why current AI approaches fall short for real-world applications and what's needed for true physical AI.
The guests argue that today's AI systems, including large language models, are fundamentally "stuck in data space" - they only process patterns in data rather than understanding the physical world that generates that data.
Maxwell uses Plato's Cave as a powerful metaphor: like prisoners seeing only shadows on a wall, LLMs interact with representations of reality (text, images) rather than reality itself.
Rather than building monolithic models, Noumenal is creating a compositional system - essentially a "marketplace of models" where specialized AI components can be dynamically combined and deployed to robots.
