Through extensive experimentation across diverse puzzles, we show that frontier LRMs face a complete accuracy collapse beyond certain complexities. Moreover, they exhibit a counter-intuitive scaling limit: their reasoning effort increases with problem complexity up to a point, then declines despite having an adequate token budget. By comparing LRMs

“The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Models via the Lens of Problem Complexity.” They can’t think. Water is wet.
Here are some things I’ve asked chatgpt recently:
“why is Toblerone so popular at airport duty-free stores?”
“give me a recipe for a chickpea tagine - I only have a can of chickpeas, button mushrooms, a courgette and some capsicum”
“where should I go for dinner near the ace hotel in sydney?”
The tagine was okay. The restaurant recs from my friends were... See more

- “Diffusion lag” reflects a lack of product-market fit. Even AI optimists are still hitting practical roadblocks. That’s why detailed case studies are so much fun: physics, code security, running a restaurant at a small independent hotel.

reality has a surprising amount of detail
Most AI backlash is economic anxiety coated in a veneer of social justice. Alfalfa farming consumes 19 times the water that data centers do; there’s no sound environmental reason to boycott Claude but not GPS. When people say “AI is a moral stain,” they really mean: I am scared that I won’t be able to pay my bills.

EMBEDDED: Do you believe that the “artificial general intelligence” and “superintelligence” that many AI boosters have warned of actually pose a risk to humanity?
KAREN HAO: These terms are really poorly defined, so I generally loathe using them at all. But if we’re talking about the idea that AI could go rogue and destroy humanity? No. This is a... See more

ISAACSON: In writing this memoir, you said the more you dug in, the more you remembered. How is human memory fundamentally different from computer memory?
GATES: It’s unbelievable how good humans are at discarding unimportant information and retaining what’s important. We evolved to find food and not get lost, things like that. So I can remember all... See more
