A recent post on LessWrong critiques Singular Learning Theory (SLT), arguing that its central claim about model singularity controlling generalization is flawed. The author contends that while SLT offers valuable toy models and insights into Bayesian sampling, its assertion that ML models are singular in the infinite-data limit is incorrect. This structural issue, the post suggests, may lead research in less productive directions, as the true drivers of degeneracy and generalization appear to be more complex than SLT's singularity-based predictions.
