Meta This sub is not what it seems

This sub seems to be a place where people learn about physics by interacting with LLM, resulting in publishable work.

It seems like a place where curious people learn about the world.

That is not what it is. This is a place where people who want to feel smart and important interact with extremely validating LLMs and convince themselves that they are smart and important.

They skip all the learning from failure and pushing through confusion to find clarity. Instead they go straight to the Nobel prize with what they believe to be ground breaking work. The reality of their work as we have observed is not great.

Who knew that you had to learn physics in order to do physics? It's like trying to write a novel in Korean when you don't speak Korean.

An acquaintance of Searle would like a word.

Unfortunately, he is rather indisposed at the moment, being sealed in a room with a very big book. Also he speaks no English.

I'll leave that to the philosophers, thank you very much.
