ahoya··on Sam Altman goes before US Congress to propose licenses for building AI
This is so far off from how they really work. It’s not reasoning anything, And even less human it has not memorize multiplication tables at all, it can’t “do” math. It is just memorizing everything anyone has ever said and miming as best It can what a human would say in that situation.

This is not at all how it works. There is no inner monologue or thought process or thinking happening. It is just really good at guessing the next word or number or output. It is essentially brute forcing.

ahoya··on Making a keyboard layout
Worse, he Designed DVORAK for use in typewriters to keep them from jamming! (Vowels on the left ) colemak on the other hand used algorithms to put keys in the most useful places, while still maintaining muscle memory for copy paste and cut. It is very easy to look up comparisons between DVORAK and Colemak to see that Colemack is objectively more efficient.

I use DVORAK on my phone however because with two finger thumb typing and no ability to roll your letters , Having the Vowels under One thumb is more efficient.

Unfortunately dvorak didn’t have modern technology and algorithms to design his layout. Colemak is the modern successor and is installed on many computers already, unlike other dvorak alternatives (though not as common dvorak unfortunately).
