A mathematical proof that general AI is a myth: biology, markets, and machine learning all agree
A new paper by Goldfeder, Wyder, LeCun, and Shwartz-Ziv argues that specialization is not a preference but a structural inevitability. Drawing on four independent domains, it shows that finite resources and performance pressure consistently favor fit over breadth.
