... and Oracle lost

Except on HN

HAHA!

Our servers are still down, though

I mean, this could be phase 2 of career growth. Focus on personal growth first by surrounding by experts.

The static nature of LLMs is a compelling argument against the reasoning ability.

But, it can learn, albeit in a limited way, using the context. Though to my knowledge that doesn't scale well.

I do see your point, and it is a good point.

My observation is that the models are better at evaluating than they are generating, this is the technique used in the o1 models. They will use unaligned hidden tokens as "thinking" steps that will include evaluation of previous attempts.

I thought that was a good approach to vetting bad ideas.

If we do figure out how to vet these thoughts, would you call it reasoning?

> then it is a correct formula to say 'it's not "true reasoning"'

why is that point fundamental?

This is not totally my experience, I've debated a successful engineer who by all accounts has good reasoning skills, but he will absolutely double down on unreasonable ideas he's made on the fly he if can find what he considers a coherent argument behind them. Sometimes if I absolutely can prove him wrong he'll change his mind.

But I think this is ego getting in the way, and our reluctance to change our minds.

We like to point to artificial intelligence and explain how it works differently and then say therefore it's not "true reasoning". I'm not sure that's a good conclusion. We should look at the output and decide. As flawed as it is, I think it's rather impressive

I read the original comment as hyperbole. But can see why it was confusing.

Edit: that came out way more condescending than I intentended

Have you had a go with the o1 range of models?

I think you're right

The danger is two fold

1. People don't eat fatty foods which have solid evidence for their benefits (e.g. Virgin olive oil)

2. People substitute the lack of fats with sugar, which I believe (not an expert) has a lot literature linking it with obesity

Argh, what has Black Mirror done to our sense of optimism?

(I agree with you).

I mentioned in another comment, I enjoyed the structure and found it much easier to process. This is despite mostly reading long form articles and never having been a huge twitter user.

On the contrary, I have never been a heavy twitter user, yet I would dearly love all articles I read to be broken down like this. I definitely find it easier to process a list structure like this.

For now
