Nah. Even with zero temperature this is still variation.

The problem with that is LLMs can output words or symbols that seen like it used "reason" to produce. But for everything the core algorithm does, it's simply nothing like the wetware reasoning to get to the same answer. So he didn't move goalposts. He always meant the reasoning that stems from human cognition.

Technically if it has that, it'd be singularity no? So basically the premise is they are doing nothing of the sort. Prove any LLM enough and it really does show it has no quarrels contradicting itself or being bossed around. Has no belief / no orientation etc. It's truly mindless but tricks our mind and soul (or whatever) probably.

It appears they don't need to reason or be intelligent to be able to produce working solutions for code. But sure let wild and unmonitored? I wrangle my LLMs like the code monkeys they are. They help materialize code and then you need to sculpt it (and test harness of varying sorts)

It really can be useful. It's very different from old world programming.

With very different final results though..?

The boiling - cooking - is the bias here. Winograds Understanding Computers and Cognition is the most excellent resource in 2026, written over three decades ago by now.

The nuance is lost on LLM agentic dominant partakers.

Yep Claude Code CLI does A LOT (which is now confirmed even more)

The question is, are you getting value from your setups or not?

Yep with a human in the loop to process these larger sprawling plan docs (inflated with the intent of the designer iteratively)

Some get deleted from repo others archived, others merged or referenced elsewhere. It's kind of organic.

Excellent comment (seriously)

Thanks. Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane attempting to ŕeason with people who think the opposite. That these are oracles imbued with human level intellect and creativity.

Now, sure, these models can be impressive - but it's a warped lens of humanities own impressive (selected) corpuses.

My take is its less so about being physically comfortable, but there is a different type of comfort by the protection of the nest from predators. It's like being uncomfortable to have peace of bird mind, in other words.

How many from long flu to fairly compare?
