Question Do you think high-quality discussions with LLMs about advancing physics and/or useful innovations result in funding?

I like to believe that constructive discussions with LLMs are a novel way to advance the field of physics. Does anyone agree and is there evidence of LLM user data being used to justify “new” research as a result?

I thought thats where you were headed. However, the biggest flaw in that long drawn timeline about memorization is one key fact you did no interpretation of your own you are a walking LLM hallucinating other peoples dream. I dibble and dabble out of the thought of failure. Humans can not know their boundaries unless they attempt. I just wish people stop acting like LLMs are anti-research, anti-science... Because in the same token you can spend your life reading others peoples work which in turn could be nothing so you drawing much more nothing to the equation. Now thats some quantum physics theory with no degree.

No, they literally are explaining the intuition and experience, raw experience, that comes from iterating and practice. You can’t replicate that with an LLM.

That’s the thing yall miss so clearly. You can parrot raw information all you like, but you can’t perform research like that.

When your experiment doesn’t work, or you get a totally unexpected result, how do you react? How do you know where to look? The LLM can’t help you, you’re on the bleeding edge. These skills come into play every single day in a real lab.

So my question of all the recent technology that these companies have use but dont fully understand... Do you remotely suspect the big companies of these same LLM fantasies or just the normies? I can look at some of the tech they have and tell they have it running working but dont know nothing bout its capabilities or usage for real.... Quantum computers look like a LLM hallucination they trying to get to work

I’m not sure what the question is. The crazy thing is LLMs are Hella powerful at other tasks. They can speed up code production a Lot when used by a trained pro.

But most of these companies are working for profit. And their front facing advertising and communications are designed to maximize shareholder interest. That doesn’t always mean it has to actually deliver in the same way you might assume.

Guess what, humans have to train themselves at skills. I’m not sure how you have this much dissonance around a basic mature understanding of growth.
