No, they really don’t. It’s a large language model. Input cues instruct it as to which weighted path through the matrix to take. Those paths are complex enough that the human mind can’t hold all the branches and weights at the same time. But there’s no planning going on; the model can’t backtrack a few steps, consider different outcomes and run a meta analysis. Other reasoning models can do that, but not language models; language models are complex predictive translators.

They walk down runways and pose for magazines. Do they reason? Sometimes.

The study being referenced explains in detail why they can’t. So I’d say it’s Anthropic who stated LLMs don’t have the capacity to reason, and that’s what we’re discussing.

The popular media tends to go on and on about conflating AI with AGI and synthetic reasoning.

When you consider education itself to be “leftist” and prefer indoctrination and dogma to critical thinking and the scientific method, it makes more sense.

There’s a reason Canada discontinued the penny.

It’s highly likely that people weren’t the target at all; they likely obliterated the infrastructure.

Oh don’t worry; they don’t use real English. They use a version where they changed the bits they didn’t understand.

I always took it as “we’ve had to do 200 deals with one country. There’s no way we can build this out to another 149….”

This is America we’re talking about. If it’s not in English, it doesn’t count.

Where was the state in all of this?

The important bit:

Those joining from unsupported platforms will be automatically placed in audio-only mode to protect shared content.

And I presume everything except Windows 11 Teams will be considered “unsupported”.

Imagine a camera on the bottom of the body instead of where the eyes would be. Now have it circle like an eagle, flapping as needed. Telephoto lens.

The one thing it has going for it is covert surveillance.

One of the benefits of an executive that outright lies or says the quiet parts out loud is that there’s limited space for their lawyers to hide behind “nuance” arguments.

It all depends on goals. If your goal is to fake it into a high paying job, cheating works. If your goal is to enrich your knowledge, it’s useless.

But in order to always do the second, you pretty much have to have enough confidence in your ability to have a soft landing when you graduate that it isn’t worth it OR already have a better grasp of the subject at hand than the average intelligence distilled by an AI.

Yup, those are the people who benefit. Everyone else gets priced out. And good luck if you’re in trades or the service industry.

Well, DOGE already fired a significant amount of the staff that wasn’t focused on private sector interaction. There’s nobody left who could take time to police online speech. So a large portion of that cut just means that there will be a hiring freeze for positions focused on government security and investigations.

Sounds about right.

The benefit is, if you’re ever able to afford property, you can hold it for a few years, sell it, pay off the mortgage, and move almost anywhere else in the world as a millionaire.

Remote work begins to look very attractive.

Police surplus I bet….

Florida bans fluoride, eh? Florida… man.
