Yann LeCun argues that LLMs are not a bubble in value or investment, as they will drive many real-world applications and justify current infrastructure spending; the actual bubble is in assuming LLMs can achieve human-level thinking.

Terence Tao states that the mathematics underlying modern LLMs is simple, using basic linear algebra and calculus, but the unpredictability of model performance across tasks remains a mystery due to the complex nature of natural language data.
Learning to reason with LLMs
OpenAI publishes an article exploring reasoning techniques with LLMs through cipher-decoding examples, demonstrating step-by-step problem-solving approaches and pattern recognition in language models.
LLM Neuroanatomy III - LLMs seem to think in geometry, not language
Researcher analyzes LLM internal representations across 8 languages and multiple models, finding that concept thinking occurs in geometric space in middle transformer layers independent of input language, supporting a universal deep structure hypothesis similar to Chomsky's theory rather than Sapir-Whorf linguistic relativism.
Use Boring Languages with LLMs
An opinion piece arguing that LLMs perform better with boring, consistent languages and ecosystems (like Ruby on Rails) because the training corpus has lower variance, leading to more reliable agentic output, while fragmented ecosystems (like JavaScript) produce poor results.
