🚨SHOCKING: Apple just proved that AI models cannot do math. Not advanced math. Grade school math. The kind a 10-year-old solves. And the way they proved it is devastating. Apple researchers took the most popular math benchmark in AI — GSM8K, a set of grade-school math problems — and made one change. They swapped the numbers. Same problem. Same logic. Same steps. Different numbers. Every model's performance dropped. Every single one. 25 state-of-the-art models tested. But that wasn't the real experiment. The real experiment broke everything. They added one sentence to a math problem. One sentence that is completely irrelevant to the answer. It has nothing to do with the math. A human would read it and ignore it instantly. Here's the actual example from the paper: "Oliver picks 44 kiwis on Friday. Then he picks 58 kiwis on Saturday. On Sunday, he picks double the number of kiwis he did on Friday, but five of them were a bit smaller than average. How many kiwis does Oliver have?" The correct answer is 190. The size of the kiwis has nothing to do with the count. A 10-year-old would ignore "five of them were a bit smaller" because it's obviously irrelevant. It doesn't change how many kiwis there are. But o1-mini, OpenAI's reasoning model, subtracted 5. It got 185. Llama did the same thing. Subtracted 5. Got 185. They didn't reason through the problem. They saw the number 5, saw a sentence that sounded like it mattered, and blindly turned it into a subtraction. The models do not understand what subtraction means. They see a pattern that looks like subtraction and apply it. That is all. Apple tested this across all models. They call the dataset "GSM-NoOp" — as in, the added clause is a no-operation. It does nothing. It changes nothing. The results are catastrophic. Phi-3-mini dropped over 65%. More than half of its "math ability" vanished from one irrelevant sentence. GPT-4o dropped from 94.9% to 63.1%. o1-mini dropped from 94.5% to 66.0%. o1-preview, OpenAI's most advanced reasoning model at the time, dropped from 92.7% to 77.4%. Even giving the models 8 examples of the exact same question beforehand, with the correct solution shown each time, barely helped. The models still fell for the irrelevant clause. This means it's not a prompting problem. It's not a context problem. It's structural. The Apple researchers also found that models convert words into math operations without understanding what those words mean. They see the word "discount" and multiply. They see a number near the word "smaller" and subtract. Regardless of whether it makes any sense. The paper's exact words: "current LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data." And: "LLMs likely perform a form of probabilistic pattern-matching and searching to find closest seen data during training without proper understanding of concepts." They also tested what happens when you increase the number of steps in a problem. Performance didn't just decrease. The rate of decrease accelerated. Adding two extra clauses to a problem dropped Gemma2-9b from 84.4% to 41.8%. Phi-3.5-mini from 87.6% to 44.8%. The more thinking required, the more the models collapse. A real reasoner would slow down and work through it. These models don't slow down. They pattern-match. And when the pattern becomes complex enough, they crash. This paper was published at ICLR 2025, one of the most prestigious AI conferences in the world. You are using AI to help you make financial decisions. To check legal documents. To solve problems at work. To help your children with homework. And Apple just proved that the AI is not thinking about any of it. It is pattern matching. And the moment something unexpected shows up in your question, it breaks. It does not tell you it broke. It just quietly gives you the wrong answer with full confidence.

After yesterday’s post I went down a rabbit hole. Here’s what I found: Private equity now owns 30%+ of vet clinics. Up from 8% a decade ago. 75% of emergency and specialty care is corporate owned. Vet bills are up 60% in 10 years. The model is pay or euthanize.And it doesn’t matter if your vet is independent. The predatory pricing spread industry wide. Over 2,000 stories in the comments from people. My heart is heavy. Before you need emergency care, Google your vet’s parent company. Know what you’re walking into. And also… take your dog on the vacation, the beach run, the inconvenient extra packing, planning, whatever. Take them and do all the things. I am full of grief wishing I would have done so many things way more often, despite being wrapped in a very busy season of motherhood and business.

@warnerelliott60 @mrwtffacts Exactly. Had a family member jailed for a bar fight he didn’t start. He refused to plead guilty and insisted on a jury trial, even though the DA threatened him with prolonged jail time. Jury found him innocent in less than 15 minutes. (This was in Georgia, so no surprise there.)

@mrwtffacts Yeah, that kinda shit happens to poor people all the time. Most of us aren't that fortunate. We have to admit to a bogus charge to get out. It's basically a state extortion racket that ruins people's lives.

In 2014, 23-year-old Ashley Gabrielle Huff was pulled over in Georgia. Police found a spoon with red residue and a field drug test said it was methamphetamine. Ashley swore it was just leftover Spaghettio sauce from lunch. Unable to pay bail, she spent a full month in jail, lost her job at Waffle House and missed her child’s birthday. A month later, the state crime lab finally tested it properly and confirmed it was nothing but tomato sauce.

@mrwtffacts Georgia, of course. Corrupt judiciary, prison and parole- for-profit systems. Everyone turns a blind eye.

Remember folks, all the fertilizer that’s needed for this year’s crop is already here in stock! Most farmers already have it bought and applied btw. Also the fertilizer for next year is likely in storage as well. There’s a LOT of market manipulation going on with this and fuel!

Shocking: Canadian Vascular Surgeon Calls Out The Atrocities About How Badly MAID Is Being Done in Canada!! (Medical Assistance In Dying.) - Up to 2 hrs to die. - No training. Just a "fee code." - Not using anesthesiologists. - Only 1/4 getting the proper K!L.L Sh0t. -Not quick, not dignified, and not necessarily painless. -Many doctors are appalled and "want nothing to do with the process."

Last Diwali dinner, my cousin, an anesthesiologist and a smart guy, got into it with me about EMF. "The body generates massive electrical fields" he said. "If external EMF was dangerous, we'd have evolved to be more robust" Everyone at the table nodded. Game over. The doctor spoke. I didn't say anything at dinner. But later, in the kitchen, I said one thing to him. "Your oscilloscope at work. The one that reads heart signals at millivolts. Would it work if I held a magnet next to it?" He paused. "That's a precision instrument." "Yeah. It is." The reason a $40,000 oscilloscope is sensitive to interference isn't DESPITE generating precise signals. It's BECAUSE of it. Precision instruments are the MOST vulnerable to noise. That's the entire field of electrical engineering. Your mitochondria operate at 30 million volts per meter across a 7-nanometer membrane. They spin a motor at 21,000 RPM that generates a magnetic field matching the Earth's. That's not a robust system. That's the most precise instrument ever built. And we’re bathing it in electromagnetic noise millions to trillions of times above natural background. He didn't argue. He just poured another drink.

Before Parliament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Before Magna Carta. Before any of it. England had a room where men could say no to a king. They called it the Witan. The meeting of wise men. Earls. Bishops. Thegns. The most powerful men in England. When the king arrived, he sat with them. Not above them. Among them. If he wanted to raise taxes, he had to ask this room. If he wanted to change the law, he needed their vote. If he wanted war, he needed their word. And if the king failed, they could take the crown off his head. And choose someone else. This was happening in England fourteen hundred years ago. A thousand years before most countries had anything like it. The idea that no one, not even a king, is above the law didn’t start with Parliament. It didn’t start with Magna Carta. It started in a wooden hall. Around a fire. Where ordinary men looked at a king and said no. Be part of us proudofus.co.uk Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

In 1945, Solzhenitsyn was a decorated Soviet officer who made a small, private joke about Stalin in a letter. The state opened it, read it, and treated it as a crime. Within weeks he was arrested and stripped of rank. He was fed into the camps, and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag. The camps were designed to teach one lesson: say nothing, remember nothing, become nothing. He shoveled frozen concrete until his hands split and bled. Years later, Solzhenitsyn would write, “Bless you, prison, for having been in my life.” It sounds insane until you understand what he meant. Prison showed him the truth of the regime in its purest form. After his release, the punishment did not end. He lived under constant surveillance, moving from place to place, knowing that writing a single page could mean death. So he did not write. He memorized. Whole chapters of The Gulag Archipelago lived only in his head. Friends hid scraps of text. Wives memorized passages. For years the book existed only in human memory, as fragile and dangerous as a secret prayer. When it was finally published, it did not argue that Soviet communism had gone too far. It showed that this was exactly where it led. Solzhenitsyn had learned that systems built on lies survive only if people agree to repeat them, and that the simplest refusal… to stop saying what you know is false… is the first and most dangerous act of resistance.

When I say garage builders are not waiting to ask permission or “go to market” to please the VC class, I am not theorizing. This farmer had a need to get to places at his farm to he built it in his garage. Like all inventions it don’t have to pass any test but his own.

Words cannot describe my disgust for this awful Labour Government. I gave it a go.

A large tree trunk has been uncovered beneath a glacier in the Alps, dated to around 6,000 years ago. The species is Swiss stone pine. Today, trees of that type cannot grow at that altitude because it is far too cold. 6,000 years ago aligns with the Holocene climate optimum, a time when temperatures were far higher than now, even with far less atmospheric CO2. Earth's climate is cyclical. Mother Nature self-regulates. Narratives of doom serve political aims, not reality.

This is the story of Violet, I’ve talked of her before. Her mom was one of my oldest but best cows. She gave birth to violet 3 years ago to beautiful Violet. She gave her the first milk the laid down to pass. Little violet spent the night frightened and alone in a pasture with her mom passed away and unable to protect her. We found her alive and scared but she had been given life before momma died. The cow knew, she only lived to give Violet life. We nursed her from a bottle and calmed her down and my wife lived on her. 3 years later, as she’s in the herd now, she gave birth to her first baby. My wife named her Poppy! The mothering ability of Poppy’s grandmother is not something you can easily replace. This is The True story of cattle Ranching. Stories like this over and over and over again 🇺🇸

Britain's Gifts To The World 🇬🇧 They taught you to be ashamed of this country. ⛓️ Here's what they left out. The steam engine. The telephone. The television. The world wide web. The computer you're reading this on. All of it Britain. Vaccination, given to the world for free. Over an estimated 200 million lives saved. 🇬🇧 Britain abolished the slave trad4e. Then spent sixty years on the open ocean making sure the rest of the world agreed. Over 800,000 people freed at once. Countless more saved from a life of slavery. The NHS. Free at the point of need. This is not a perfect country. No country is. But this is a country that looked at what was wrong with the world and tried to fix it. Repeatedly. For centuries. Britain's greatness didn't happen by accident. It happened because ordinary people worked together. That's what we're doing again. First it starts with us working together once more. Proud Of Us is a community of people who love Britain and want to help bring it back. Story by story. Name by name. If you want to be part of it: proudofus.co.uk/support 🇬🇧 Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

It's farmshare Monday! Thank you to everyone who supports small farms & ranches. We couldn't survive without you. 🥛🐄✨️ "For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace." John 1:16

**MICROSOFT JUST BUTCHERED 10,000 WORKERS THEN HIRED THEM BACK AS CONTRACTORS WITHOUT BENEFITS FOR 40% LESS PAY** Satya Nadella executed the most diabolical workforce scam in corporate history Workers got terminated in January with the standard "difficult business decisions" bullshit email Then March rolls around and suddenly Microsoft needs "consulting talent" for the exact same fucking roles Same desk. Same computer. Same projects. But now you're a contractor with zero healthcare, zero PTO, zero job security I'm hearing from sources inside that over 60% of the "eliminated" engineers are back doing identical work for $85K instead of $140K Microsoft spent $72.4 BILLION on AI infrastructure in six months while orchestrating this contractor swap scheme Stock buybacks hit $26 BILLION last year while they gutted full-time headcount to boost margins The best part? HR is telling the contractors this is "more flexible for everyone involved" Translation: we get the same output for 60 cents on the dollar and you get to pay your own healthcare Satya made $79.1 MILLION last year executing this labor arbitrage masterpiece If your company just announced "workforce optimization" followed by mysterious contractor job postings, you're about to get fucked the exact same way They're not automating you out of existence. They're turning you into a gig worker with a computer science degree

Hot cross buns are nearly 700 years old. One of Britain’s oldest Easter traditions, still eaten today. The story begins in 1361 when Brother Thomas Rocliffe baked and distributed buns on Good Friday at St Albans Abbey. But in 1592, under Elizabeth I, spiced buns were restricted by law to just three occasions: Good Friday, Christmas, and burials. Thankfully, the tradition survived every ban, every change, every century. The cross marks the Crucifixion. The spices recall Christ’s burial. The fruit represents renewal and hope after fasting. Split, toasted, and thickly buttered, the hot cross bun remains one of Britain’s simplest and oldest seasonal comforts. Do you toast yours with plenty of butter or eat them straight out of the pack?
