"So what do you do?"
"Oh not much, mostly daydreaming about dominating god."

It's like an affirmation 🤓💪

The guys who reason from first principles that you can farm karma with shrimp tubs. Of course they think LLMs reason when they themselves have no reasoning ability.

It's the guy who's really into Kant who keeps polling the room if the universe exists without eyes to see it, but there's actually so many of them and now they've congregated into "research groups" in search of God.

The academic literature is horrendous as well. Constantly building up super contrived mental abstractions and benchmarking nothing to avoid just describing what is conceptually pretty simple. But, alas, an accurate explanation of "spicy autocomplete" wouldn't receive infinite funding.

OpenAI is especially egregious at coming up with misleading terminology. "Reasoning" is another one, implying there's an entity there, thinking and feeling, when it's "just" a very impressive autocomplete and prompt building script and a scan for nearest neighbors in a large array
