It's pretty implausible that there could be a corpus of text containing correct answers and correct reasoning to such a range of questions and problems as to be generally applicable to any question or problem. Calling it "reasoning" is a sleight of hand that in no way describes what is occurring.

"Reasoning models" would be far more accurately described as "post hoc justification" models. Reasoning is like "hallucination": an anthropomorphic term that obscures what LLMs really do. There's still no truth involved.

I just got home from a gig with my son (it's just gone midnight here in Sydney Aust). He's off to bed, and without even thinking about this conversation I thanked him for getting the tix and noted that it was another fabulous evening's apocalypse. I don't even realise I'm doing it half the time!

He's definitely showing signs of panic. I know that saying about "every accusation is a confession" with these guys, but it just seems incredible that the core of the whole Pizzagate / Qanon thing about child exploitation could play out like this.
