This stochastic parrot argument is dead. Hes bereft of life. He is no more, hes shuffled off the mortal coil and joined the choir invisible! The only reason the argument keeps being brought up is because Emily Bender nailed it to its perch! This is an ex stochastic parrot!
a world where academia has been strangled and significant mathematical results beyond what was already known by the early 21st century are a commodity tightly controlled by a small cartel of theorem vendors; advanced proofs are variously treated as trade secrets or matters of national security
They discovered that reasoning models produce fractals when asked to solve hard problems. You can use nonlinear dynamics to probe the thinking processes of recurrent depth models on Sudoku, mathematics, and even ARC-AGI
