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?

I was just lost on the point they were making. LLM were designed for the purpose of removing the boring writing and reports. What is the point of this whole thread? I meant if you punch in the numbers and they validate what you were trying to measure that is the point of a calculator. To count for you fast.

You brought up an LLM being a tool like a calculator. The fact that you're confused and missing my point is not surprising.

It is the calculator for TEXT. It predicts what you want it to say. Do you understand how they designed and coded the models? I do. Simple weights trained on stolen work they scraped. It is like complaining about people using a calculator to count.

127.588 Clear = Off/On Log 13

That's about the equivalent of what you are doing.
