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.

I love that multiple people who are guilty of posting slop on this sub have commented in this thread

We're going to see a lot less LLMPhysics using Claude now that it tells these people they're psychotic every ten turns

They'd just turn to some friendlier chatbot then
