  • Yes, so-called “reasoning” LLMs do just “talk” to themselves. Adding this and calling it reasoning was the LLM industry’s way to print more money by confusing (tricking) normal people and investors. “AGI is right around the corner, we already having reasoning models.” The same industry stole the “agents” terminology from standard computing as well, because to most of the population, this makes them sound more capable than a normal LLM. It’s an infinite money glitch, or at least, it has been. I hope that the money is starting to run dry, given the new token restrictions being implemented.

    I do think humanity will eventually get to AGI. However, I don’t think it’s going to involve LLMs.











  • I corrected my first comment in the comment you just replied to:

    In both slate and rivian’s case (I think), they seem to use a hybrid of both

    Everywhere I’ve found calls it a hybrid or mix of both options. This is how Rivian does their bodies as well, which means Slate may not fully fix this “more expensive to repair than standard body-on-frame” problem. At least, Rivian calls it a “unique” body on frame.

    Here’s an R1T, for example and to compare:

    I do see that the Slate’s bed body is less of a unibody compared to the R1T, however it otherwise is very similar. I’m betting that the Slate will be cheaper to repair in the rear, from a labor and material sense, however I think it will suffer from similar problems elsewhere.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have a Slate regardless. R2 is a full unibody, which will almost definitely make repairs more costly, as well.
