And.... the video!

And so it continues...
there's nothing more fascinating &/or #truth - y than seeing it clearly with our own lyin' eyes.

There's nothing else to see. Our emperor - a delusional toddler-King, is wearing no #cognitive clothes! And only he knows how to respect The Pope! Then again, Sir said only he knows more about religion.

The more things change - or not....

"Perfect"
We have seen it all, & again today our Toddler King literally wore new "cognitive clothes" - to a funeral.

Here's the video

And it continues... I'm sated for now, no new "news", as there's nothing more fascinating &/or #truth - y than seeing it with our own lyin' eyes.

🎓🤖 This groundbreaking revelation from the ivory towers of #academia ponders if #RL can magically transform bland #LLMs into #reasoning superstars. Spoiler alert: after endless waffle, the answer is still "TBD." Apparently, all that’s needed is a touch of wizardry from #Tsinghua & Shanghai's finest 🧙‍♂️.

🔴 New Reasoning AIs Hallucinate More

🔸 o3 & o4-mini outperform older models in coding & math — but hallucinate more.
🔸 On PersonQA, o3 hallucinated 33% of answers, o4-mini 48%.
🔸 No clear cause; scaling reasoning may amplify false claims.
🔸 Transluce: o3 fabricates actions like fake code execution.

Andreas Schleicher, the head of education and skills at the O.E.C.D., told The Financial Times, “Thirty percent of Americans read at a level that you would expect from a 10-year-old child.” He continued, “It is actually hard to imagine — that every third person you meet on the street has difficulties reading even simple things.”

From blind solvers to logical thinkers: Benchmarking LLMs' logical integrity on faulty mathematical problems. ~ A M Muntasir Rahman et als. arxiv.org/abs/2410.18921 #LLMs #Math #Reasoning

arXiv.orgFrom Blind Solvers to Logical Thinkers: Benchmarking LLMs' Logical Integrity on Faulty Mathematical ProblemsConsider the math problem: "Lily received 3 cookies from her best friend yesterday and ate 5 for breakfast. Today, her friend gave her 3 more cookies. How many cookies does Lily have now?" Many large language models (LLMs) in previous research approach this problem by calculating the answer "1" using the equation "3 - 5 + 3." However, from a human perspective, we recognize the inherent flaw in this problem: Lily cannot eat 5 cookies if she initially only had 3. This discrepancy prompts a key question: Are current LLMs merely Blind Solver that apply mathematical operations without deeper reasoning, or can they function as Logical Thinker capable of identifying logical inconsistencies? To explore this question, we propose a benchmark dataset, FaultyMath, which includes faulty math problems of rich diversity: i) multiple mathematical categories, e.g., algebra, geometry, number theory, etc., ii) varying levels of difficulty, and iii) different origins of faultiness -- ranging from violations of common sense and ambiguous statements to mathematical contradictions and more. We evaluate a broad spectrum of LLMs, including open-source, closed-source, and math-specialized models, using FaultyMath across three dimensions: (i) How accurately can the models detect faulty math problems without being explicitly prompted to do so? (ii) When provided with hints -- either correct or misleading -- about the validity of the problems, to what extent do LLMs adapt to become reliable Logical Thinker? (iii) How trustworthy are the explanations generated by LLMs when they recognize a math problem as flawed? Through extensive experimentation and detailed analysis, our results demonstrate that existing LLMs largely function as Blind Solver and fall short of the reasoning capabilities required to perform as Logical Thinker.

* particularly impressed w. Claude (3.7 Sonnet), DeepSeek
* most SoTA free (ChatGPT higher performing paywalled): still amazing!
* chain-of-thought reasoning / augmented responses (web retrieval: RAG) 👍
* very impressive!!
* Firefox users: try the AI Toolbox extension 👍

“We’re stepping into the most pro-growth, pro-business, pro-American administration I’ve perhaps seen in my adult lifetime,” gushed the hedge fund manager Bill Ackman in December...

“You don’t get fired for being bullish, but you do get fired for being bearish on Wall Street,” said Berezin.

📉 CEO #SamAltman räumte ein, dass #OpenAI in Sachen #OpenSource bisher auf dem falschen Weg war und kündigte eine neue Strategie an.

🛠️ Das kommende Modell soll über solide #Reasoning-Fähigkeiten verfügen und vor Veröffentlichung nach OpenAIs Sicherheitsrichtlinien geprüft werden.

"Mathematics is not arithmetic. Though mathematics may have arisen from the practices of counting and measuring it really deals with logical reasoning in which theorems [...] can be deduced from the starting assumptions. It is, perhaps, the purest and most rigorous of intellectual activities, and is often thought of as queen of the sciences." – Erik Christopher Zeeman (1925-2016)
