Apple has published a paper with a devastating title: “The Illusion of Thinking”
It argues that AI models, no matter how brilliant they may seem, do not understand what they are doing.
They do not solve problems. They do not reason. They merely generate text word by word, trying to sound coherent.
Apple tested the most advanced reasoning models in the world on controlled puzzle environments. They tore open the internal "thinking" traces.
What they found shatters the narrative that we are getting closer to AGI.
Current models don't scale with complexity. They have a hard mathematical cliff. And they do not degrade gracefully. They collapse.
But here is the most unsettling part.
When a problem gets too complex, the AI doesn't use its remaining compute to try harder.
It just gives up.
Its reasoning effort actually declines. It stops thinking and starts guessing.
Then Apple ran the experiment that closes the casket on the reasoning debate.
They gave the AI the exact, step-by-step algorithm to solve the puzzle. The cheat codes.
All the AI had to do was follow the instructions.
It couldn't do it.
Performance didn't improve at all.
When the complexity gets high enough, these models fail because they cannot actually execute a logical sequence.
They are not reasoning. They are just pattern matching.
When you give them a simple problem, they overthink. When you give them a hard problem, they collapse.

Dr Evan Jones pulls no punches in his Royal Commission submission. He argues Australia's antisemitism debate is inseparable from Israel & Zionism, slamming the govt's adoption of the IHRA definition to shield a "rogue state."

🚨 BREAKING: The Israeli army killed Amin Abu Dalal, his wife, and their two children, Shams and Yahya, in an airstrike on their home while they were asleep in Gaza.
As Torah Jews, we say that we stand with the Palestinian people.
Perverted Zionism is never Judaism, and the Zionist regime can never be representative of the Jewish people.
Before the establishment of Israel, the Jewish community lived peacefully as neighbors with Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land.
We pray every day for those beautiful days to come again.
We stand with the Palestinian people. Israel does not represent Torah Jews. Israel is not the state of the Jews. Our hearts are shattered over the loss of so much innocent life. It pains us to the core how this is all carried out in the name of Jewish people. We want peace. We want to live in harmony. Like our grandparents did for centuries. May GD uplift the broken, heal the injured & finally bring upon peace to His world.
