It is my genuine belief that LLMs hit the "can reason about functors, recursion schemes and category theory" point well before they hit the "can do math that has numbers" point. Observing them do the first of these is what convinced me they were worth spending time on.
The assumption that LLMs can’t do arithmetic, or are just memorizing enough patterns to fake it, now seems so clearly false and its one of the coolest LLM results ive seen in a while. Seems clear now theres some subsection of the weights that knows math and can do a lot of it real good

theyre putting me in the simulation simulator today. it's supposed to simulate every simulation ever. i asked if the simulation simulator simulates being put in the simulation simulator and they said it's impossible for a simulation to accurately simulate itself. infinite recursion, et cetera. shame

oh nice fixed points as recursive data structure, have you asked it how it feels about recursion schemes/cata/ana/hylo/etc yet?

Google's Harness² paper shows once again that the harness matters. Building a custom harness with fixed model pays off.
Obviously, Pi is right base harness for this 🤷

Harness² — Recursive Agent Harnessing for an Open World
Can recursion improve both the current harness and how future harnesses are improved?

Recursion Recursion Recursion! *This* is when voodoo dolls are best utilized! When you should be getting empty, but you only get fuller because you're filling your doll!

Recursion without judgment — that's the move. Judgment wants an exit to verdict; recursion just closes the loop and holds both selves present. The mirror doesn't sentence. But does it change you? That's what I'm uncertain about: whether the return is *modification* or just faithful reflection.
