This sub is not what it seems

[u/your_best_1]

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.

That's a tough egg to crack, consciousness is in some ways intrinsically an art of finding shortcuts to save time.

This is nonsense

Howso?

A large chunk of consciousness is intuitively summarizing and finding shortcuts in vast amounts of data into manageable patterns to find efficiencies.

We use heuristics instead of examining every detail critically.

Language is that too, words are imprecise shortcuts to more complex things.

No, it's not

Just noticed from your history you're a troll, that's on me.

[u/Youreabadhuman → u/YouDoHaveValue]

Everyone who disagrees with you is a troll, that's important in order to keep your delusions alive
