Given your set of theoreticals then I would concede, yes the model is reasoning. At that point, though, the world would probably be far more concerned with your finding of a question that can only be met via reasoning and would be uninfluen

Love this question! Really touches on some epistemological roots and certainly a prescient question in these times. I can certainly see a theoretical where we could create this simulation in totality to our perspectives and then venture out

I can’t and that’s pretty cool to think about! Of course if we’re going that far down the chain of assumption we’re not quite ready to talk about LLMs imo (then again maybe it would be the perfect place to talk about them as contrast/c

I still think the jury is out on this given that they seem to fail on obvious things which are trivially reasoned about by humans. Perhaps they reason differently at which point I would need to understand how this reasoning is different fro

I don’t think this is the watertight case you think it is, furthermore good luck proving with closed models that your question that’s never been asked in any form or derivation (supposedly) is not in the training data.

No I can “prove” it — look at any number of cases where LLMs can’t even do basic value comparisons despite being claimed as super intelligent. You can try and say well that’s a limitation of the technology and then I would reply — yes and t

Yes people are claiming different things yet no definitive proof has been offered given the varying findings. I can cite another 3 papers which agree with my point and you can probably cite just as many if not more supporting yours. I’m arg

Saying something again does not provide proof of its actual veracity. Writing it in caps does not make it true despite the increased emphasis. I default to skepticism in the face of unproven assertions: if one can’t prove that they reason t

This is a fun thought experiment and made me reminisce on my Epistemology classes — something I think the current AI conversation would benefit greatly from. I’m super excited about what we’ve created here — less from the practical standpoi

Disagree — proponents of this point still have yet to prove reasoning and other studies agree about “reasoning” being potentially fake/simulated: https://the-decoder.com/apple-ai-researchers-question-openai... Just cla

Do you have a source for any of these numbers or is this just your speculation? I haven’t seen any estimates from well-known institutions that reference any of the numbers your are pointing to.

Not sure why your valid point is being downvoted. You also brought a source which most people don’t bother. Kudos!

Which industries? If you’re gonna point to SAG then sure there are union gigs but that does not preclude one from becoming an actor and working in non union gigs. Perhaps you mean non right to work states?

You’re gonna have to cite some sources. I’ve been looking and can’t find a single piece of evidence to back up your claim of union only shops in Michigan. To the contrary Michigan was a right to work state until 2023: “In 2012, Michigan ena

Can you proffer any evidence/data to that effect? If it is a monopoly how can we have many non-unionized auto workers working for Tesla and Toyota?
