we think it’s just words, but our brain will seamlessly weave inner monologue into concepts
Are you familiar with latent space representation?
Because yes, that’s how LRM’s work, cycling tokens in latent space multiple times before sending to upper layers and decoding into human words

Fair, we need to get terms straight; this is new and unstable territory. Let’s say, LLMs specifically.
it did not debug anything, a human debugged something and wrote about it. Then that human input and a ton of others were mapped into a huge probability map, and some computer simulated what people talking about this would most likely say
Can you explain how that is different from what a human does? I read a lot about debugging, went to classes, worked examples…
Why didn’t you debug it yourself?
In my case this is enterprise software, many products and millions of lines of code. My test and bug-fixing teams are begging for automation. Bug fixing at scale

It’s still not reasoning. It’s running a simulation
As Daniel Dennett once asked: “What is the difference between a simulated song, and a real song?”
You say it’s not reasoning, but I’ve seen it debug and fix a core dump

I don’t think you have read the relevant papers or are familiar with LRM (Large Reasoning Models). Which is basically all model AIs (GPT5, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek). It’s new in the last ~18-24 months
In a nutshell, they include logical thinking and correct chains of logical thought to the LLM training data, along with tasks like recognizing dogs and predicting next words.
So yes, they are literally trained to reason the exact same way they are trained to write stories and summarize books.

Actually having elders in human societies is shown to positively correlate with better outcomes for the youth in that society. Grandmothers in particular have a measurable benefit.

better light sensitivity
I like to think of it as “colors and light so brilliant and pretty it’s like tripping shrooms”

Thank you for the proper link and info, and apologies for the confusion.
I am a SciAm supporter and got this in their newsletter. I would have linked but all the URLs in their emails are to a tracker (!$#^%!$) “ctrk.klclick1.com”

As a hiring manager in IT for decades, I learned early: do not hire PhDs
They can write a paper about why the program does not work. They are not willing to sit down roll up their sleeves get intimate with a debugger and make the program work.

If we’re talking ChemLawn, I’ll agree with you. But mulch mowing the yard is IMO categorically better than paving (or ChemLawning)

I don’t get it
You have hundreds of millions to billions of dollars worth coming in
Totally… well, legit as far as banks are concerned
Why TF would you store it on an unencrypted public blockchain where everyone can see every. Damn. Move.
A credit or debit card is way more private; at least only the bank, its affiliates, and your government are watching your transactions – not the entire internet
