I saw someone use ChatGPT to do a long multiplication sum and it got it wrong.

Yes they are partially matrix multiplication. But crucially not just matrix multiplication

Sesame street is a good show, but we need to bring back school house rock.

As an adult, School House Rock is the sole reason I remember my multiplication tables not even joking

Just realizing my parents are going to be proven right that knowing the multiplication table is actually going to give you an advantage in life

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?”

Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...
So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading. What do you think when you hear that? The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter? That’s my question for you. Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does. But there must be some set of skills that matter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those. There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address. And I —— I don’t really believe that to be true. It’s completely true. Janine will tell you and Lori will tell you. One day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it. But let me take the other side because I don’t want to fall into a thing where, because some skills can be safely offloaded —— Yeah. I also can’t get anywhere without a mapping system now. Never could, frankly. But I’m a big reader. And one of the skills I really value, one of the capacities I have that I really value is an attention span formed on physical books. You’re a big reader. I’ve read about the kind of reading you do. And there is, prior to A.I., a lot of concern and noticing among college professors and others that the way people use the internet has probably shortened attention spans. Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off. Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off. Yeah. Well, I think that we’re going to lose some finer intellectual dexterity, but we’re going to be better systems thinkers. Today’s engineers are far better systems thinkers than I was when I graduated from school. But I was a much better transistor thinker. What do you mean by systems thinker? They think of large systems. Today’s computers have trillions, hundreds of trillions of transistors in them. When I first graduated from school, the first chip I worked on had 200 transistors. I knew every one of them by name. No engineer does that today. Most engineers now work well above the transistor, well above the functionality, and they’re cobbling things together to do things. So you need to think much more about systems and interactions of systems. So some of the lower-level knowledge is gone.

L'article est pour une fois exemplaire.
Reprenant l'étude citée :

1) il constate la multiplication par 5
2) cette multiplication est sans lien avec l'augmentation des refus d'obtempérer
3) on ne retrouve pas cette augmentation ailleurs

On peut en déduire que c'est la loi qui l'a provoquée

the fact that we still teach kids multiplication -- for unfathomable reasons, to these people, presumably, since the invention of the pocket calculator -- cannot be allowed to stand

I am very skeptical that LLMs think, but one of the more tiresome arguments I see against LLM thinking is that what they’re doing is “just matrix multiplication”, bc there a straightforward sense in which your brain is doing matrix multiplication at various levels

You don't start or end with multiplication tables.
They're one building block.

I think the reason this claim gets repeated a lot is that when you're focused on the word "multiplication" in "matrix multiplication" it sounds weird that it's not commutative. But non-commutativity is in fact a regular feature of all sorts of stuff. Not, as a general matter, counterintuitive.

We’ve never seen such division in this country, and I suspect that there’s multiplication, addition and subtraction happening, too.

IT'S LITERALLY JUST MATRIX MULTIPLICATION THEY'RE JUST MULTIPLYING MATRICES OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THEN TURNING THE NUMBERS BACK INTO WORDS!!!!!!!!

Russie 🇷🇺

Avec la multiplication des raids de drones Ukrainiens, de nombreux vols internes en Russie sont annulés. Moscou a du mal à contrer la multiplication des frappes à l'approche du 9 Mai.
