Imagine going back in time and trying to explain this to someone like Ronald Reagan:
1. The 47th President of the United States begins his term with a shitcoin scam named after himself to extract money from his constituents for personal gain.
2. Later, the President initiates a direct transfer of wealth from taxpayers to crypto industry donors, VCs, and shitcoiners like himself.
3. An oligarch deeply involved in China is given full access to government agencies and eavesdrops on every conversation with world leaders while lobbying for America to leave NATO and the UN.
4. Allies are threatened with annexation of their territories.
5. The United States sides with Russia in a UN resolution condemning a war of aggression against a country voluntarily seeking to join America's sphere of influence, while the leader of that country is mocked and humiliated by members of the Republican Party.

1. Why do some LMs self-improve their reasoning while others hit a wall. Four key cognitive behaviors enable successful learning: Verification (checking work), Backtracking (trying new approaches), Subgoal Setting, and Backward Chaining (working backwards from a goal). https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.01307

3. Chain of Draft: Thinking Faster by Writing Less—80% fewer tokens per response yet maintains accuracy on math, commonsense, and other benchmarks. On GSM8k math problems, CoD achieved 91% accuracy with an 80% token reduction compared to CoT. https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.18600
