There's an entire subreddit called LLMPhysics dedicated to "vibe physics". It's full of people thinking they are close to the next breakthrough encouraged by sycophantic LLMs while trying to prove various crackpot theories.
I'd be careful venturing out into unknown territory together with an LLM. You can easily lure yourself into convincing nonsense with no one to pull you out.

- walthamstow 10mo agoMan, I think about that comment all the time, like at least weekly since it was posted. I can't be the only one.
- dang 10mo agoI think we have to add that one to https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights! (I mention this so more people can know the list exists, and hopefully email us more nominations when they see an unusually good and interesting comment.)
- kqr 10mo agoAgreed, which is why what GP suggests is much more sensible: it's venturing into known territory, except only one party of the conversation knows it, and the other literally cannot know it. It would be a fantastic way to earn fast intuition for what LLMs are capable of and not.
