LLMs as circus tigers - outside the cage
A circus tiger escapes its enclosure and ransacks the local super market. Who is responsible and liable? The tiger, the supermarket or the circus …? Now think about the latest OpenAI - HugginFace “s…
Large Language Models (LLMs) as stochastic parrots? No, more like circus tigers.

We already had vibe coding, now we also have vibe accounting https://www.itpro.com/software/microsoft-touts-new-copilot-features-in-excel-but-says-you-shouldnt-use-them-if-you-want-accurate-results
Why conversational LLMs aren’t speakers, in a nutshell (i.e. an argument map): https://coding2learn.github.io/Piwek_Are_conv_LLM_speakers_poster.pdf
(and more detail here: https://oro.open.ac.uk/99476/).
“In the end it is up to communities of learners and educators to create the circumstances in which these new [Generative AI] tools amplify rather than subdue human intelligence, just as the [Encyclopaedia] readers in the first Enlightenmen…
"Unsurprisingly, DeepSeek did not provide answers to questions about certain political events." (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/28/we-tried-out-deepseek-it-works-well-until-we-asked-it-about-tiananmen-square-and-taiwan).

A paper from the very end of 2024 by a team of researchers, most of them employed by Anthropic at some point, claims that LLMs can “fake” alignment.
But who is deceiving who?

7/7 Final note: And where would a Python beginner get the idea of writing "pen: up()" anyway? Well, sometimes the reference documentation can trip you up if you don't read carefully: "You can also move the turtle around without drawing, by…
6/7 Note that the up() has the side effect of raising the pen, but the return value is None. BTW: the name 'pen' does no work at all in all of this. foo:up() works just as well. So please don't use pen:up() - it works, but for all the wron…
5/7 In conclusion, pen:up() works because Python interprets this as a type annotation up() on the name pen. #Python evaluates up() before it is stored in __annotations__
>>> from turtle import *
>>> pen:up()
>>> __annotations__
{'pen': Non…
4/7 As per pep-0563 @ThePSF, you can switch off annotation evaluation and instead store annotations as strings as follows:
>>> from __future__ import annotations
>>> l: 2+2
>>> __annotations__
{'l': '2 + 2'}
