Thanks for the concise description of CoT.

I generally feel that it has been a poor bandaid on hallucinations. And it does carry a processing cost (tokens). So guys like Anthropic that are making bank selling tokens love CoT. But I believe functionally it offers little more than false sense of reliability, that the model is checking itself and therefor it is less likely to barf out garbage.

For Claude Opus and Fable. I find that it can easily go off in a bad direction because the offending step is too far back or too subtle for the model to detect.

Chain of Thought is a pipe dream, a false hope we use to convince ourselfs that AI can be done responsibly.

And hoping we can get governments to regulate the industry before catastrophe? Absolute madness. Seriously, and one who thinks that will work needs a lesson in what a government is and how it reacts to complex issues.

Expect the world to burn and the people to demand answer from the government before they even get to a finger pointing stage, let alone a measured and effective regulation of an entire branch of technology.

Under-regulated AI is as dangerous (if not more so) as unregulated chemistry. Doing nothing is like saying making pretty pigments and making deadly poison are at the same level of concern for society. The current response from politician, regulators, the media, and the tech industry is extremely irresponsible.

In the 1990's I played TSN/INN a lot, it was $13 a month for 30 hours. And there were a few tiers that were less and I was on one of those, I had about 5 hours a month on the promotional plans I was typically on as I was a little kid with no money of my own and parents that were skeptical that this was a productive use of their money or my time. I paid for additional hours before, just to finish a quest with a friend. It was really expensive, I think around $5 per hour ala carte.
