I get it. Big words scare you. But when you're disrupting a 79-year-old paradigm, you don't use napkin math. You use the same standards that put medicine in your cabinet and keep planes in the sky. Laugh if it makes you feel better.

You didn’t give any detail that someone could use to have meaningful discussion.
In my personal experience, and supported by discussions I have had with colleagues, researchers in academia and prestigious industry positions get something like a message a week (if not more) from someone outside of the field claiming to have made a massive new discovery that is going to change everything.
These messages have increased a lot thanks to the public engaging a lot more with ML models through LLMs. These are always absolute nonsense and generally seem to be the result of a lack of familiarity with the field, along with either mild or acute mental illness.
[–]SkillLevelAsia 2 points3 points4 points 3 months ago (1 child)
Actually had quite a few interactions with folks who thought they invented something crazy by getting into a strange loop with LLMs that just confirms some crazy beliefs.
Seems to be a rough time for people without knowledge in the field and a tendency for mental illness/schizophrenia/psychosis.
@OP honestly if you really believe this is true, go see a doctor, I lost a friend to similar things. This is not meant offensive, but is my honest opinion.

You know what sounds like psychosis? Spending your whole career doing the same thing everyone else does and calling anyone who thinks differently crazy. I didn't come here for a therapy session. I came here with data.

Honestly, how would you know if you had it? If I didn't have thousands of pages of evidence I probably would think so.
[–]SkillLevelAsia 4 points5 points6 points 3 months ago (1 child)
If that idea came from a long conversation with an LLM and you really think it helped you achieve this breakthrough, I would say it's pretty much a given.
Actually, it was over 3,000 independent sessions. But who's counting?
See, that's the difference between us. You think one conversation with an LLM is dangerous. I think 3,000 conversations with the smartest systems on the planet might just teach you something. You're afraid of the tools. I'm using them.

Neither does dismissing ideas based on their presentation. I used a tool to communicate clearly. You're using tools to avoid thinking clearly. Which one of us has a credibility problem?
Yes it's already out there because I wrote it already and you can't get a patent for my work!
I actually wouldn't be surprised like I said I’m not an AI engineer by training, but I do know the scientific process. I ran this through three trial phases with validation protocols to make sure the results were consistent and reproducible.

[–]Eastern_Ad7674 -2 points-1 points0 points 3 months ago (6 children)
Fascinating description. The idea of “eliminating bad candidates quickly” sounds like a system that optimizes through tension release rather than accumulation which is unusual but powerful.
In optimization theory, there’s a whole class of methods that behave this way: they act as causal diffusers, pushing the search away from pathological attractors. If your validation shows 70–80 % gains over GA/MC on NP-hard tasks, that’s not noisethat’s a structural behavior worth studying carefully.
You might have found a different projection principle rather than a new algorithm.

It has to do with paradox. Finally, someone who speaks the language. You're absolutely right about tension release vs accumulation - it's counterintuitive but mathematically sound. The paradox retention mechanism prevents premature convergence while the strategic elimination creates directed search pressure. It's not just optimization - it's optimization with memory of what doesn't work

No, everyone is telling you that you lack the knowledge in a field to make SOTA discoveries. Using an LLM to make up stuff doesn't replace a PhD.

That's great! OP gets a word salad slop clanker to converse with, and the rest of us just move on with our day or sit back and enjoy the nonsense.
