  You do realise that everyone actually educated in statistical modeling knows that you have no idea what you’re talking about, right?

    Note that I’m not one of the people talking about it on X, I don’t know who they are. I just linked it with a simple “this looks like reasoning to me”.

      They can’t reason. LLMs, the tech all the latest and greatest still are, like GPT5 or whatever generate output by taking every previous token (simplified) and using them to generate the most likely next token. Thanks to their training this results in pretty good human looking language among other things like somewhat effective code output (thanks to sites like stack overflow being included in the training data).

      Generating images works essentially the same way but is more easily described as reverse jpg compression. You think I’m joking? No really they start out with static and then transform the static using a bunch of wave functions they came up with during training. LLMs and the image generation stuff is equally able to reason, that being not at all whatsoever

        You partly described reasoning tho

      Yes, your confidence in something you apparently know nothing about is apparent.

      Have you ever thought that openai, and most xitter influencers, are lying for profit?

  This comment, summing up the author’s own admission shows AI can’t reason:

  this new result was just a matter of search and permutation and not discovery of new mathematics.

    I never said it discovered new mathematics, I implied it can reason. This is clear example of reasoning to solve a problem

      You need to dig deeper of how that “reasoning” works, but you got misled if you think it does what you say it does.

        Can you elaborate? How is this not reasoning? Define reasoning to me
