To get things clear right from the start, I am not interested whatsoever in progressing the draft today. I'm interested in deepening my understanding of the papers that I'm working on. In particular, I would like to work on the following papers with you. I think they're all in the folder, but I'm not 100% sure. LLMs Can't Jump, the Floridi paper and section 9.2 of Widening the Picture by Williamson, maybe 9.3 as well. You know what I'm talking about? ### Assistant I'll load the relevant skills and get oriented. Let me start by reading your daily note, the session file, and checking what's in the generating philosophy folder. ### Assistant Now let me get oriented — I'll read the daily note, the session file, and check the generating philosophy folder for those papers. ### Assistant Good — I can see the folder. All three papers you want are there: 1. **LLMs Can't Jump** by Zahavy (2026) — ~1.2 MB 2. **What Kind of Reasoning (if any) is an LLM actually doing?** by Floridi, Morley, Novelli, and Watson — ~346 KB 3. **Widening the Picture** by Williamson — ~807 KB Yes, I know what you're talking about. From your session note, these map onto your paper structure: - The **Floridi paper** feeds Section 1 — you steelman the critique and extract the concession that structure IS learned from training data - The **Williamson** (specifically 9.2, possibly 9.3) feeds Section 2 — abductive methodology that intensifies the concern, then the pivot on theoretical virtues being intrinsic - **LLMs Can't Jump** (Zahavy) — I can see it's listed as a 2026 DeepMind position paper, though I haven't worked with it in your past sessions as much as the other two Let me extract all three now so we're working from the actual texts, not memory. I'll do the extractions in parallel. ### Assistant All three extracted. Now let me read them — I'll start reading all three in parallel, focusing on the Williamson sections you mentioned (9.2 and 9.3). ### Assistant The Williamson is too long (91 pages). Let me find sections 9.2 and 9.3 specifically. ### Assistant Good, I can see 9.2 starts around line 1493 and 9.3 around line 2305. Let me read both sections. ### Assistant Good — I've now read the full text of Zahavy and Floridi, plus Williamson 9.2 in full and the opening of 9.3. Let me get the rest of 9.3.
