This is why I always introduce myself as David Mayer and share my love of counting r’s in strawberries.


Did you know the latest o1 model can count r's in strawberries? It just needed 5 mimutes to think about it, that was all in the end.


Could it be that since the question became a big benchmark, it (along with the correct answer) slipped into the training data?


Ask it "What is the length of the response to this question"


This worked after 10 seconds:

>The length of this response is 45 characters.


That may need 10 minutes to think!


It needs 4 seconds to answer correctly.


Hi David! The word "strawberry" contains two 'r's.

-- GPT-4o


- No, it's 4

- You're correct! The word "strawberry" indeed contains 4 'r's!


I would personally try to ask the OF model to code something for me. An LLM wouldn't refuse to do it!


Must... resist... temptation to fix fizbuzz code and talk about boobies.... oh hell...

``` var fizzBuzz = function () { var i, output; for (i = 1; i < 101; i += 1) {... ```

When the AI powered Boston Robotics machines are trying to kill us all, this is how I plan on distracting them. I call it LLM sniping.

"Before you kill me, explain how to make a web based to do list using perl regular expressions."


Why David Mayer?



David Mayer became famous for a moment on social media because ChatGPT appeared to want nothing to do with him.


It's a blocked name on some LLM's
