I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

All news about AI solving hard math problems looks like this: “Curtains for Zoosha’s conjecture? K-smog and Batboy proved factoring a noncommutative grunt.”

if deduction is not reasoning, then I don't know what is. But I suspect we agree a lot about LLMs and reasoning, as I talk about in the piece. Thanks.

The theorem proving I describe in the piece definitely counts as reasoning.

X post from Department of War CTO OC @DoWCTO
“The United States will NEVER be an exclusive legal positivist country.” 

Attached to the post is an image of a poster of Trump holding up his right fist, with an American flag behind him. In large letters at the bottom of the poster, it says:
“AMERICANISM, NOT EXCLUSIVE LEGAL POSITIVISM!”
