Sabine: When Did LLMs Get This Good At Physics?

When Did LLMs Get This Good At Physics?

  • LLMs aren’t able to actually use logic or reasoning to reach thought-out conclusions. Despite that, several startups plan on using the current systems to do serious physics research. And some physicists, including myself, have used AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude to write papers. The situation is changing incredibly fast. Let’s take a look at how LLMs might be improving at physics, and the current state of AI scientists.
At present, LLMs are being used by Physicists to do serious physics research.

In this forum, we still have primitives condemning those who use LLMs.

You are obsessed with it. I've already seen that video. All kinds of people use AI for research. That's not the same thing as some twat on a philosophy forum using it for every post they make for the most trivial things instead of using their own brain and ability to write. You might as well say it's ok for university students to use AI to write their essays for them.

Well it takes a REAL dedicated hardcore thinker to understand both physics and metaphysics. To understand reason and logic.

Or, is it better to be contingent on a mechanical think tank? 😂

Or, it it better to be contingent on a REAL non-mechanical think tank? 😂

Research, means to discover what’s already available, what’s already here now, already a given, absent of author.
No copyright. 😂

One might even call it the study of INFINITY.

To categorise it could be the new category of science.

The Science of Infinity
The Logic of Infinity
The Math of Infinity
The Physics of Infinity

I have done that with AIs which align with my views.

I suggest you do the above research with 'your' AI but include the following prompt [instruction] to AI.
  • “For any interpretation or conclusion we arrive at, please also consider alternative viewpoints from the standpoint of general philosophical objectivity and rational reasoning. Present any possible counter-interpretations that may be equally or more coherent"

??? Can you discuss philosophical issue with God?
I suggested you do the above research with 'your' AI to get an idea which you may agree or disagree, regardless it should be educational.

Do you ever listen to your own echo. It’s all you interacting with yourself. The one you created in your conception.

Call it God or Human or AI, it’s all observed as mental activity.

No so. The human self is a collective of mental activities which in a majority of people generate the idea or illusion of God, and create AI machines.

The human self is like a hurricane which can have a specific identity and named, e.g. Andrew, Katrina.
The hurricane is a specific system of moving atoms, H20, wind, with a specific pattern which is interdependent with the whole system of the Earth and the universe.
The human self is the same, i.e. a specific system of moving atoms, organic matters, mental activities with a specific pattern which is interdependent with the whole system of the Earth and the universe.

Just as a hurricane can 'die' the human self also die in the same manner when its relevant components do not behave in its defined system pattern, e.g. in human if the heart does not beat anymore.
While the atoms of the molecules will dispersed faster for a hurricane after its death, it is the same with the human body, albeit slower, without its working system and mental activities.

God is selfless holding a space for you to be selfish.
The highest love is to hold space for everyone.
Existence is the universal platform for truth, love and everything.
God doesn’t exist. God is existence.
God imagines entire galaxies out of thin air. It is a mind that contains all possible realities, all possible minds.
I Am directly conscious of this. I don’t require a label to be. Except in this conception, imagined, prior to which I am the eternal unborn space in which everything exists as something as nothing cannot be. Existence HAD to exist.

This all seems to be about AI writing up superficially passable papers that are discussed in glowing terms but never sent for peer review for some reason.

Sabine has a habit of shanelessly using clickbait thumbnails and video titles. I'm wise to it now so don't bother with her any more for that reason. Plus, she sings the praises of that charlatan Eric Weinstein, and her accent is awful.

Can you discuss philosophical issue with a mechanical robotic machine that repeats human knowledge which is fiction?
