       @Lana I'm not sure how this shows that the LLM does not reason.[I'm sure that LLMs do not reason. I just don't see how this test demonstrates that.]It does show that the LLM's output is racist.But, given that most of its training input was racist, I don't think we should be surprised by that.🙄

       @Lana "In conclusion, our study demonstrates that chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting, while promising for improving LLMs’ reasoning abilities, can be systematically unfaithful."- and -"On a social-bias task, model explanations justify giving answersin line with stereotypes without mentioning the influence of these social biases."So they've shown that the LLM's explanation of its reasoning is often faulty.They question if the model "knows" this, but leave this question to further research.

       @Lana Heck; humans are well known for doing post-hoc rationalization; often heavily biased. They mention that in the paper — that such post-hoc rationalization is in the LLM's training inputs.Is this evidence that humans are not capable of reasoned thinking?[ "Don't answer that! I wonder that, myself, about some of my fellow humans."  😆 ]

       @Lana I totally agree with your conclusions:"LLMs do not think. They do not reason. They aren't capable of it. They reach a conclusion based on absolutely nothing more than baked in prejudices from their training data, and then backwards justify that answer. We aren't just creating AIs. We are explicitly creating white supremacist AIs. It is the ultimate example of GIGO."And this paper provides compelling examples of it.But is this paper good *evidence* of *lack of "reasoning"*?

       @Gargron My experience has been that LLM translations are almost good enough to verify that a message is a scam.

       @MoonberryJam @rysiek "Scrip" is typically an alternative form of money. In this context, it's "money" printed by the company and paid to employees instead of conventional national "legal tender." Sure, you can buy things at >The Company Store< (at company controlled prices). But it's worthless anywhere else.(It's illegal for companies to do this.)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrip

       @FakeScrumStats Yes, agile results in accomplishing more and better business results with less effort, cost, and investment.But it's indirect.Pursuing that as your goal will make it impossible to achieve.

       @FakeScrumStats "So this story is estimated at 3 points, and you've been working on it for how many sprints?""Looks like the estimate was not very accurate."

       @FakeScrumStats "Well, I'm not blocked but …""No. Agile Defines 'Blocked' and 'Not Blocked'. No 'ifs, ands or buts.' You're either 'unable to do anything' or 'doing just fine.' Those are your only options. So say The Agile Gods. So say we all."
