Other studies (not all chess based or against this old chess AI) show similar lackluster results when using reasoning models.

Edit: When comparing reasoning models to existing algorithmic solutions.

No, more like “Your marketing team, sales team, the news media at large, and random hype men all insist your orange machine works amazing on any fruit if you know how to use it right. It didn’t work my strawberries when I gave it all the help I could, and was outperformed by my 40 year old strawberry machine. Please stop selling the idea it works on all fruit.”

This study is specifically a counter to the constant hype that these LLMs will revolutionize absolutely everything, and the constant word choices used in discussion of LLMs that imply they have reasoning capabilities.

Ah yes, surely “DontMakeMoreBabies” would be the perfect source for all my parenting advice.

Everyone knows that anti-natalists are the best source for parenting advice!

Hey, now it’ll work better as a suppository!

It was an intentional feature for techs working on the devices.

Why? Hate babies? Or all children?

Or just the giraffe baby? I’d understand that one. Fucker’s always eating the leaves off my trees.

Hey @[email protected], your blog post really seems to be making the rounds now!

Edit: not sure why the downvote. It was originally posted by mirrorwitch, of the awful.systems instance, on the tech takes community there. Direct link: https://awful.systems/post/4558700

It also got noticed by Hacker News, which is funny to me given that the original community it was posted to is incredibly anti-HN. Also that roughly half of the comments are people who were unable to follow how it was written (funny given HN’s overwhelming elitist slant). Link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44200773

If mirrorwitch doesn’t want the shoutout, just say so or send me a private message and I’ll take this comment down.

Yep, this discussion has been done to death decades ago when datacenters and other secure facilities started using iris scans.

Biometrics is the username, not the password.

It’s frustrating that so many reporters and news orgs can’t grasp this.
