Sometimes ChatGPT does not connect the dots. Sometimes it does not follow its "plans".

Last update: Tuesday 8/26/25

Everybody knows that chatbotmake mistakes. This misbehavior has given rise to the fundamental guideline that users should always doublecheck everything a chatbot says. The  implicit assumption of this guideline is that a chatbot’s incorrect response to a prompt, a/k/a an “error” reflects the chatbot’s incorrect knowledge. This note challenges that assumption. 

The editor of this blog can document situations wherein ChatGPT “knew” the correct response to a prompt, but delivered an incorrect response anyway. In other words, ChatGPT failed to connect the dots, failed to give the response that it “knew” that it should have given.

Apple moves back to its roots in hardware with “cloud buster” chips

Extensive revision: 8/17/25

This is the first of a series of occasional publications that will track Apple’s development of genAI inference data centers using Apple Silicon, centers at the edges of the Internet that will support billions of devices. Given Apple's policy of minimal publicity during development, there probably won't be more than four more reports before the end of 2026.

Note: During “training”, a model learns from a large dataset; during “inference”, a trained model responds to queries from users.

The Great AI Exodus: How Three Tech Giants Lost the Visionaries Who Built the Future

Last update: Friday 8/1/25

An exclusive article in The Information last week reported that many members of Apple's large language model unit were leaving because they perceived that Apple's leadership did not share their vision of the transcendent importance of generative AI. Given that The Information's report was behind a very high paywall, most of the readers of this blog probably could not read it. So the editor tasked ChatGPT to provide an extensive TLDR summary

Gemini ... The world's first genAI browsing tool

Last update: Saturday 7/26/25

In a recent note on this blog we ranked the three leading chatbots -- ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini -- with regards to 8 basic functions. None of the three was the best at everything; and Gemini only excelled at two things: searching the Internet and following links to unrestricted pages (e.g., pages not behind paywalls). However, its dominance of these two functions enables it to become the world's first genAI browsing tool, a new function that will be discussed in this note ... Click HERE to read more.
