    stop with reductionist absurdum.

    stop it. This is such reductionist bullshit. By your infinite reductionism definition no one knows how anything works

    Yes, it turns out that matrix math over a feature space of math works pretty well because unlike poetry or real world work, maths are internally coherent and entirely theoretical.

    I think its been pretty clear that in abnsense of clear use cases that are monetizable many model providers have been benchmaxxing on abstract or low utility average user performan…

    I'm sorry, we know exactly how LLMs work, this myth that we "dont know how they work" was perpetuated by executives that dont know how they work. We know exactly how attention laye…

    Yes. If you use the right technical terms together it’s lights up more specific feature spaces to your task. Specificity matters to LLMs a lot.

    I feel like you should search through the thousands of papers that are generated nonsense math theory and laugh at how you cherry picked 3 things.

    But the issues is you have the ratios wrong. 99% of math theory is useless and maybe 1% has value.

    Abstraction is useless until its proves use in test against a base case of reality. its the defition of useless most of the time.

    This is nonsense. Its the shared based case we can all test against, the things you think are the abstraction. So wildly goofy train of thought here.

    humans reasoned before language but lacked the ability to store and transmit it. Later advanced humans developed abstract reasoning once lingustistic library became sufficiently de…

    Disagree, basic research, no matter how dull, is an observation of a measured reality. Math Theory are patterns of abstraction that may never be useful at all or representative of …

    Its likely part of how we reason, but quite obviously its not the specific mechanics exactly. First, we reason every millisecond on an ongoing basis which then can alter slightly o…

    AI simulates reasoning by lighting up the vector space (or concept space) weighted around a token so they it understands all adjacent words or concepts in that space. This is a bri…

    Real talk. AI solving these makes me feel like mathematicians put far more importance on their work than was actually there. Many solutions seems to be tautological games, and game…

    That would slow the expansion, its cheaper and easier and faster to just steal power from the local communities and then gaslight them.

    Read the top comment. The story never questions if they are right, simply tried to smear the argument based on the sources.
