Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

That’s OpenAI admitting that o1’s “chain of thought” is faked after the fact. The “chain of thought” does not show any internal processes of the LLM — o1 just returns something that looks a bit like a logical chain of reasoning.

I think it's fake "reasoning" but I don't know if (all of) OpenAI thinks that. They probably think hiding this data prevents cot training data from being extracted. I just don't know how deep the stupid runs.
