Every article on pronatalism in the past few years has been these two Thiel-sponsored white nationalist dweebs and nobody else. Why the fuck does the Guardian fall for this shit too.

Laurens Hof on Mastodon:

absolutely insane article:

the headline claims the models capable of reasoning are ready

first paragraph moves from 'ready' to 'on the brink'

4th paragraph moves from 'on the brink' to 'hard at work, figuring it out'

5th paragraph scales it down further, now the next model with only 'show progress' towards reasoning'

halfway through LeCun admits that current models cannot reason at all

the journalistic malpractice here is honestly a parody of itself
