Utility in what sense? It does improve reasoning capabilities (both formally and informally).

And not just restricted to ChatGPT! There are a large number of models that are reasoning trained (or based) now.

I’m not sure I follow your key issue? Semantic meaning in context is the main training?

Some of your statements about their training are no longer true. The current generation of foundation models (o3 etc) are explicitly trained on reasoning data. Further, formal reasoning data (using special purpose languages) is increasingly integrated.

Social media platforms will face financial penalties starting in the 10s of millions if they don’t implement technical measures to block under 16s from social media!

I’d also love to be added even though I’m in Australia!

This was exactly what I was looking for!

Only if you look closely on the slide, the formal specification has a bug!
