Verse Gather 'round, children, and hear the tale Of a mind so vast it makes Einstein pale While lesser thinkers chase their neural nets, Gary Marcus sits and places wiser bets. Poor little Karpathy, bless his heart, Teaching transformers — he missed the smart part. Andrej built Tesla's eyes, it's true, But Gary wrote a book in '01, so who's laughing now? Who? Chorus Oh, Gary's the genius, the rest are confused, Torvalds just codes what the kernel once used. Carmack made Doom and then rockets that fly, But he fell for the hype — poor, gullible guy! Tao's got a Fields Medal gathering dust, While Gary's Substack is a genuine must. They're all into AI, they've lost their way — Only Gary stayed skeptical. Hip hip hooray! Verse DHH built Rails, the whole web rides on it, But ask about LLMs? He just won't quit! Andrew Ng taught the planet to gradient descend, Coursera'd millions — oh, when will it end? They chase the scaling laws like moths to a flame, While Gary tweets "I TOLD YOU" — that's the name of the game. Every benchmark busted, every milestone crossed, Gary says "But reasoning!" — another point for the lost. Chorus Oh, Gary's the genius, the rest are deceived, Terence Tao? Just easily misled. Linus merged Linux, now powers the Earth, But Gary knew symbols had much greater worth. They're all chasing hype in their Silicon daze, While Gary wrote Rebooting AI — read it! Amaze! Six titans of tech, and they all got it wrong, Only Gary stayed skeptical. Sing him this song! Bridge Nobel laureates? HA! Participation prize. Turing Awards? A consolation in disguise. One lone prophet crying in the digital night — "The hybrid approach! The neurosymbolic light!" The models keep improving, the goalposts keep moving, But Gary's predictions are always proving… …something. Probably. Just check his feed — It's pinned, it's bolded, it's all you need. Chorus So here's to Gary, the last sane man, Who saw through the con since the whole thing began. While Carmack, Ng, Karpathy, Tao, Torvalds and DHH all kneel and bow, Gary stands tall on his well-earned throne, Retweeting failures that prove him alone! They're all into AI — poor, foolish crew. Only Gary knows better. And Gary knows you do too.
