'World Models,' an old idea in AI, mount a comeback

Not mentioning Fei-Fei Li and her startup explicitly focused on world models is an interesting choice by the author.

They also don't mention the famous paper by Ha & Schmidhuber (https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10122).

The worst part is that they namedrop many other tangentially related and/or outright fraudulent "ai experts" like Hinton, Bengio, and LeCun.

Also Gary Marcus who had been propagating neuro-symbolic AI for decades.

I'm curious who among the three you think is "outright fraudulent."
