Ah yeah, whoops. Either a CLA or permissive license is enough on its own to facilitate such a license change.

Some LLMs do better than others, but this still sometimes trips up even "frontier" non-reasoning models. People were showing this on this very forum with GPT-5 in the past couple days.

In the interest of "objective facts and truth": That's not the actual slogan, or what it means. It's about pursuing health and measuring health by metrics other than and/or in addition to weight, not a claim about w

The reality is obvious. The only way not to see it when looking at research like this is to not want to see it. The idea that this critique is somehow more confusing than the use of the word "reasoning" itself is farcical. LLMs

Well now they could use GPT-OSS, but it wasn't out when they began the study. I've recently been taking a look at another paper, from 2023, and subsequent research. It has a morally similar finding, though not focused on "rea

Not really. You can't fully remove large parts of the bloat without breaking Windows Update, and true removal of some features is invasive enough that it has to be done offline. When you actually look at those de-bloating scripts or te

I don't think the salience of this problem is that it's a supposedly unfixable blind spot. It's an illustrative failure in that it breaks the illusory intuition that something that can speak and write to us (sometimes very im

You can already do it with arbitrary strings that aren't in the dictionary. But I wonder if the pattern matching will break once strings are much longer than any word in the dictionary, even if there's plenty of room left in conte

It does the same thing with a bunch of different words like "committee", "disestablishmentarianism", "dog", "Anaxagoras", and a string I typed by mashing the keyboard, "jwfekduadasjeudapu".

If you look at the "reasoning" trace of gpt-oss when it handles this issue, it repeats the word with spaces inserted between every letter. If you have an example that you can get the dumber model to fail on, try adjusting your pro

It seems outrageous that a company whose purported mission is centered on AI safety is catering to a crowd whose use case is virtual boyfriend or pseudo-therapy. Maybe AI... shouldn't be convenient to use for such purposes.

It's sometimes useful, it seems. But when and why it helps is unclear and understudied, and the text produced in the "reasoning trace" doesn't necessarily correspond to or predict the text produced in the main response (

We still don't have reasoning. We have synthetic text extrusion machines priming themselves to output text that looks a certain way by first generating some extra text that gets piped back into their own input for a second round.

Sentience is at once too high a standard and too low a standard for AI. It's too high in that it requires actual consciousness, which may be a very tough architectural problem at best (if functionalism is true) or an unknowable metaphy
