The Century-Long Pause in Fundamental Physics (opens in new tab)

> Senior figures (Smolin, Woit, Hossenfelder, Penrose)

Well one of the three is not like the other, three are very accomplished physicists, one is a youtuber who lies about the game to get clicks. (And we know she lies because she used to play the game quite competently.)

And sure enough they start talking about interpretations of QM.

The author (who is also the submitter; it seems nearly all his submissions are his own blog posts) is not a physicist, so it's hard for me to take seriously his sweeping dismissal of the field. Then I see he links to his own Revolutionary Theory, and it starts to look like outright crankary.

At least not all the author's blog posts seem to be AI-written: https://danieltan.weblog.lol/2023/01/why-most-image-gen-star...

Physics is so deep in epicycles now, and without observations to force people to sacrifice their numerically accurate dumpster fire on the altar of parsimony, we may never progress.

I'm new to HN and was initially excited about the various intellectual and technological posts ... but isn't this literally just written by AI?

I've read like 5 posts in a row and it's starting to dawn on me that all this might be written by AI. Why tf would you even bother posting slop like that?

I was liking the article until I clicked the link to "Wave Relativity". It seems to be overclaiming things, and ChatGPT is telling me that it's too good to be true.

The problem seems to be that AI can help you write a 200-page long book without ensuring that it's right. I'm currently feeding the book into ChatGPT Pro.
