2 years of RLHF I don’t see reasoning. It’s clearly a text-similarity game, plus training of course. My mental model to work best is not that I’m interacting with a thing with reasoning. That differs from my mental model of interacting with

Yes ban them so new cars are even more out of reach for many (the cheapest electric cars are too expensive still and might not come with enough base range for long commuters). And those low earners will keep driving their shit boxes. What g

That’s amazing because made up language might also just be context scaffolding sans reasoning, e.g. it’s arbitrary extra context for machines to relate human text better. I’m not even trying to play devils advocate—-like both sides, true be

I might just be on the opposite side of the aisle, but to me chain-of-thought is better understood as simply more context. Of course there is ambiguity though, more context would be hard to distinguish from core-reasoning and vice versa. I

It’s herding cats, not “learning”, which is a fine situation for some parts of workflows.

It could be the reporting? Wildberger believes you can always get more precise calculations with more terms, but there is never a “completed” infinite object. He had extensive videos on YouTube but something happened. Not sure if he ever go

It doesn’t mean they tie intelligence to subjective experience. Take digestion. Can a computer simulate digestion, yes. But no computer can “digest” if it’s just silicon in the corner of an office. There are two hurdles. The leap from simul

It’s a simplification that all kinds of infinites are implicated by infinite models? To understand a finite computation, we (some amount of scientists and mathematicians) must understand at least ZFC? Why not pick 10^180 or something as the

Hoping to watch the video soon. What's still a mystery to me is how Turing Machines (infinite, abstract, non-physical) are so useful for us finite beings. Similar could be said for mathematical infinity.

define stump? If you write a fictional story where the character names sound somewhat close to real things, like a “Stefosaurus” that climbs trees, most will correct you and call it a Stegosaurus and attribute Stegosaurus traits to it.

0^0 got Gemini 2.5 pro the other day for me. It claimed all indeterminate forms (in the context of limits) are also undefined as a response to a prompt dividing by zero. 0^0 is the most obvious exception, it's typically defined as =1 a

I mean it’s beyond the scope of o3 or Gemini 2.5 pro or any other public LLM to play a full game of Sudoku. Of course they’re jagged if they do have peaks elsewhere. But even where they are supposed to excel, I very very rarely come across

According to Sapolsky, testosterone amplifies current behaviors. If you’re already aggressive, you become more. If you’re already X, it amplifies. Just because it’s safe doesn’t mean people want to be in affected states permanently.

You’re likening actual rocketry to LLMs being mildly successful at describing Paul Newman’s alcohol use on average when they already have the entire internet handed to them.
