My point there was just that chatgpt presented the following calculation:
Why can’t an AI program do simple multiplication and division?
Which model did you use? Different models have significant differences, especially in calculations, but newer models are starting to be quite good at recognizing when they need “help”. The fact that the model corrects itself when asked would suggest that the first answer was not specifically “calculated” but a probabilistic response.
Andrej Karpathy’s YouTube video “How I use LLMs” from approximately 59:30 onwards provides an illustrative example of calculations.

CoreWeave’s first quarter brought significant revenue growth, clearly exceeding forecasts. The company reached almost a billion dollars in revenue, and adjusted EBITDA clearly rose from the previous year. Although operating profit and earnings per share remained negative, actual operational profitability improved significantly. The growing order book was particularly highlighted, significantly influenced by a substantial agreement with OpenAI.
Strategically, CoreWeave has expanded its computing capacity and launched new AI solutions. The partnership with IBM and a strong position in the AI market reportedly support growth. The listing brought significant capital, and the company is seen as a pioneer in the technology sector. Management emphasized continued growth and investments for long-term dominance.

Calculations are usually done with different techniques than LLM models. So, language models often can’t calculate properly, but they have still improved somewhat since their early days.
For a couple of years, I’ve occasionally asked a classic question: Who was Finland’s president? Only half a year ago did they start getting it right (although the ordinal number has always been on Wikipedia), and a few still make mistakes and state the name of any president.
So, calculation skills or even numbers haven’t been the best features of language models, but I’m sure that will also start working at some point (e.g., a better mathematical model is integrated into the language model).

C3 AI’s quarter was strong; revenue grew, and the company formed new partnerships and successfully expanded its operations with existing customers.
The company made significant agreements, most of which were partner-supported. AI solutions, especially generative AI and the PANDA platform, also attracted interest in public administration and other sectors.
The company’s management sees strong development continuing.

Grok has learned bad habits.
The matter naturally made it to the news as well.
https://www.dw.com/en/musks-grok-chatbot-at-the-center-of-antisemitic-scandal/a-73212009
There is no official reason yet for what this is about, but below is a possible explanation. I don’t know about its veracity, but the explanation is logical. Musk may have genuinely grown tired of Grok constantly invalidating, for example, Doge’s and Republicans’ claims with facts, and decided to cut some corners with surprising consequences.
https://bsky.app/profile/whstancil.bsky.social/post/3lti5ifrfw22x
If this is a consequence of Musk’s direct interference with AI settings, it underscores how their management is not entirely straightforward, and especially adjusting/setting social parameters can be really difficult. At least when so-called “uncomfortable facts” should be filtered out.
Filters have been removed there. All public AI models have these. Even Google’s Gemini used to put out all sorts of interesting stuff. Garbage in, garbage out. The internet is full of garbage, including garbage that shocks people. A language model doesn’t know what’s shocking unless specific instructions are built into it on the subject…
Clearly Grok had some kind of filters, and when it was criticized for being too politically correct, Elon apparently took them all off, and then no one who understands the operating principles of LLM systems is surprised by the outcome… I’m sure they’re trying hard to adjust things further to find some golden mean, so Grok isn’t immediately dragged into a Nazi trial

C3 AI’s earnings season didn’t look very flattering in terms of numbers, but a large part of the revenue still comes from subscriptions, which provides a stable foundation. Profitability remained weak and losses accumulated again, so it leans towards disappointment… (though it’s still in the green, ironically )
However, the company’s management emphasized that the sales and service side has now been revamped, and a new, but experienced CEO has taken the helm. The beginning of the year was difficult, but management believes that thanks to the reforms, significant market potential, and satisfied customers, growth will pick up again.

Here is an article from SalkunRakentaja about AI stocks, quoting the chief economist of the fund company Vanguard.
So hospitals, banks, and energy companies can operate more efficiently than ever, Davis believes.
”If this materializes, the benefits will be widely distributed, not just to the technology sector.”
Davis’s conclusion is that investors should not rely too heavily on companies developing AI.
”It might sound surprising, but broad investment portfolios and diversification are often a better approach than investing solely in technology companies,” he recommends.

Here is an article from SalkunRakentaja partially on the same topic as the one I posted here earlier.
The sharp rise in AI-related stocks may face a bubble risk if the investment pace of tech giants slows down.
According to giant bank Goldman Sachs, AI stocks may face bubble risks as the AI boom shows signs of slowing down. According to the investment bank, the inevitable slowdown in capital expenditures by large tech companies could cut the S&P 500 index’s valuation multiples by up to 20 percent.
The AI boom is now running at such high speeds that most US companies are trying to keep up with the megatrend.
