recently, I wasn't able to configure my ads because I've run out of Codex tokens. I haven't opened the ChatGPT app ever since.
"I just can't seem to stay interested and read LLM text."
For foreign text, sure. But I never was never able to read New York Times articles about some invention that started with Lucy leaving her home at seven o'clock.
If you have a specific question, reading LLM text can be more interesting than anything in the world. Even Wikipedia.

with a different title, they would have achieved much higher engagement.

It says much more than that. It says that all custom architectures and approaches are become irrelevant if compute increases, which was proven again by the large latent models recently solving RL tasks better than any classical RL technique.

Checking that the theorem is what we really want to prove is much much less work than going through the whole proof though.

the common distinction between robot and machine is that machines are mostly stationary and don't move by themselves. (Self-driving cars sit in between, depending on further developments, they might slide into the bot category.)

they definitely do get answers. maybe the path is incomprehensible to you, but the yes or no answer is definitely there: that's what the formal provers are there for. In the worst case you have an Oracle which just answers your question with yes or no but in truth you get many more details if you want to look

just because humans don't understand it yet doesn't mean that the machine doesn't understand it and can build upon it
