I have no idea what you're trying to say - it is generally understood everywhere in the world (ie all forms of human culture) that it's pathetic to pass off someone else's insights as your own.

the aesthetics of math and physics is by far the most boring discussion that can be had. i used to be utterly repulsed by such talk in undergrad - beauty this and that. it absolutely always felt affected and put on - as if you talk about

Have you really never heard the expression "opinions are like ...." or did you not understand the point of the expression?

Yes and you have to be invited to publish in a place. Meaning at least one other person has to believe your opinion is significant........

I've said it before but no one takes it seriously: LLMs are only useful if you're building something that's already in the training set ie already commodity . In which case why are you building it ???
