1880 New York Times clipping on a deaf-mute’s pre-linguistic reasoning is 2026’s News

by Larry Chiang on February 28, 2026

– Michael Burry’s post promotes his new Substack series using a 1880 New York Times clipping on a deaf-mute’s pre-linguistic reasoning to draw parallels with AI’s development, questioning if large language models (LLMs) started poorly by prioritizing language over innate reason.

– The article argues LLMs simulate intelligence via statistical patterns but hallucinate due to lacking true deductive logic, echoing historical views that reason—observable in silent observation, like the subject’s inferences on creation from stumps and stars—must precede language for genuine understanding.
– This “reason-first” critique challenges AI hype around scaling compute, suggesting future breakthroughs lie in compression architectures (e.g., AlphaGeometry) rather than trillion-parameter models, aligning with Burry’s history of spotting market inefficiencies.
