Reasoning is about serially applying a set of premises over and over to come to conclusions. But some of our biggest problems require thinking outside the box, sometimes way outside it, and a few times ingeniously making up a whole new set of premises, seemingly ex nihilo (or via divine inspiration). We are still in very early stages of making thinking machines.

This is a natural next area of research. Nailing "adaptive compute" implies figuring out which problems to use more compute on, but I imagine this will get better as the RL does.

I do philosophy and it will take an exaggeration I give it, and call it fact.

The non reasoning models will call me out. lol
