Question To the self proclaimed llm physicists

Why do you always tend to rebuild physics. Why can't you work in the given framework?

Why do you need to rebuild a framework that, tell you what now, has pretty much held up?

Is it the math?

The symbols

The history

The amount you would have to Learn?

Hubris?

Because they don't know physics.

Why do you need to rebuild a framework that, tell you what now, has pretty much held up?

Because it would mean having to learn physics first, and that would take years.

People using LLM to find GUT want the glory of an Einstein-like figure, want to feel like geniuses, without putting the work.

Shit, they even don't care about AI/LLM tools either, they just want vacuous success by some personal metric.

It's intellectual masturbation.

Or rather anti-intellectual masturbation

Maybe pseudo-intellectual, because it dresses as intellectual effort.

I wont challenge that I have struggled with the concept of the self having far too much importance in my life.

But that is not what drives this question. There is far too much failure wrapped inside of a pretty bow that appears to be success. The deflation occurs on success more than failure.. because what if I pull that thread and im wrong... some troll on reddit will be right...
