In a classic study of "mental rotation", Shepard and Metzler (1971) found that the time to compare two 3D cube-made objects was proportional to their angular difference. But *what is going in the brain* during this process? 🔗 Metzler & Shepard (1971): https://t.co/fbtMnbPZR0

How is this paper not more well-known? Modern vision models like DINOv2, CLIP, ConvNext still struggle significantly under small translations of input images. Lost in Translation: Modern Neural Networks Still Struggle With Small Realistic Image Transformations

I was at a robotics workshop a while ago, and someone famous boldly claimed: > "we've solved language and vision, and we did that with lots of data and next token prediction." My response was a predictable disappointment, followed by a facepalm. Vision is about inferring

So the key concern is: Using large language models to initialize vision-language(-action) models is a tempting trap — it lets us appear to make progress without truly achieving it. Most benchmarks have overwhelmingly focused on reasoning and digital domains, without
