Daring Fireball

Dictators always lie about what they’ve done, but are often quite plain about what they want to do.

Kasparov got it right there.

Maybe al forno instead of alla panna. Everything is better with a golden brown cheese topping.

Tesla‘s model lineup spells S,3,X,Y or sexy. Just in case anyone didn’t know yet. Real mature.

I’m thinking tortellini alla panna for lunch.

Inside the Mind of Claude: How Large Language Models Actually “Think”

This issue persists even in newer models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which can generate long “chain of thought” explanations. In some cases, these are faithful, reflecting real internal computation. But in harder problems—like estimating the cosine of a large number—Claude may generate confident reasoning steps without performing the actual calculation. Researchers describe this behavior as a form of philosophical “bullshitting”: generating plausible reasoning without concern for truth.

Sounds like me. I’m also bullshitting my way through life.

We had a really nice Sunday dinner. Potatoes fluffed with parsley and butter, cauliflower and white asparagus. Topped with some honey glazed ham and loads of homemade hollandaise sauce.
