Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

“We’ll do X for you.”
“YOU’D BETTER DO X OR YOU’LL BE SORRY!”
“…Yes, as we said, we’ll do X.”
“HA! I WIN! I BEAT YOU LOSERS AND NOW YOU’RE DOING WHAT I TOLDED YOU TO! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!”


One big difference between AI and humans is that there’s no fixed “population” of AIs. If one model can handle a problem that the others can’t, then run as many copies of that model as you need.
It doesn’t matter how many models can’t accomplish this. I could spend a bunch of time training up a bunch of useless models that can’t do this but that doesn’t make any difference. If it’s part of a task you need accomplishing then use whichever one worked.


Yes. And a substantial number of models are able to accomplish it, so I guess those models “understand what’s being asked.” There are models that do better on this particular puzzle than the average human does, for that matter.


It’s tricky in the sense that it requires abstract reasoning.


And that score is matched by GPT-5. Humans are running out of “tricky” puzzles to retreat to.
I’m pointing out that people find excuses to hate on AI regardless of what you do with it. Makes it pointless to compromise or otherwise try to satisfy them.
