alt Hacker NewsIt's pretty wild that AI has solved a Millennium Prize problem and can accurately multiply two 40 digit numbers without tools and we still get stochastic parroting of claims like this.

They literally stopped just clear of actually solving it.
It literally couldn't have done it without tools, so your claim is not even relevant to this discussion.
They also pumped millions into searching for the lowest hanging fruit that would impress people like you, "hm I wonder how many millions they are pumping into solving actually useful problems like climate change or something".

Yeah, anti-LLM psychosis is real.
Not sure about multiplication, but letter counting is still constantly wrong if you can trick the LLM into not calling other tools. Obviously there are lots of mitigations on the server side to try to avoid this happening, but the underlying LLM has not got any better at this type of problem (and probably can't).
