It isn't a perfect fit, since the article talks a lot about the scientific method which doesn't apply super well to philosophy+math, but I think there are some strong parallels here.
- arthurnogman 9mo agoYes. There are parallels, thanks a lot for sharing this! Especially on emergence, and explaining quantum effect. The better news for me: - I did follow though their step 1 and 2 from the start, and I noticed that the LLMs hallucinate, confirming some apparent nonsense, specifically ChatGPT. So I cross checked Grok, Sonnet, Gemini, DeepSeek. With 0 context on me. - I did the dereivation of logic independently of llms, the only thing I asked is "cosmetic" and even that cosmetic I checked with cross-reference I'd be glad to see the other "genuises" and their work, to understand what exactly am I dealing with here. Because "quantum-consciousness" crowd was there forever long before LLMs and they just likely to amplified with LLMs saying them how unique they are.
- arthurnogman 9mo agoThe worst part here is that if that LLM-science is going mainstream right now, then people will dismiss anything in that direction despite of quality
