I hadn't read that before, but yes. Sutton focuses mostly on "large amounts of compute" whereas I think his own employer has demonstrated that it's a combination of large amount of compute, large amounts of data, and really clever probabilistic algorithms, in combination, which really demonstrate the utility of the bitter lesson.
And speaking as a biologist for a moment, that minds are irredeemably complex and attemptng to understand them with linear, first-order rules and logic is unlikely to be fruitful.
