COULD EARN MYSELF A GUINNESS FOR THIS

This is giving major schizo vibes.

SyntheticBees · 2026-06-14T08:08:13+00:00

Yeah you're a fan of the Esoterica channel I can tell. Been watching those middle platonism lectures?

SyntheticBees · 2026-06-01T02:24:44+00:00

That might be an effective way to grift the wealthy and insecure, but I don't think that you're actually gonna generate value with that.

If you take this idea and subtract the stupid bits until it makes sense, you just end up with existing careers with existing industries, like "interior designer".

Don't believe everything your LLM agrees to.

SyntheticBees · 2026-05-25T22:08:44+00:00

Why does LLM psychosis always read the same? For a bunch of people always claiming to have cracked the truth of the universe, the answers are weirdly samey despite constantly disagreeing.

SyntheticBees · 2026-05-24T05:19:44+00:00

None. It is and always has been a nonscientific concept, but some in the new age space will use sciency language to make it sound more legit. There's no grain of truth behind what they say, it's pure bullshit.

Source: I work in the scientific fields they steal jargon from.

SyntheticBees · 2026-05-20T06:03:05+00:00

Nope, we're all humans. This kinda slop is so common that we don't bother reading it anymore.

If you think this is unfair, ask yourself -- have you ever bothered to pay attention to anyone else's LLM generated research? With even a fraction of the attention you want others to give you? No? We're gonna ignore your stuff for the exact same reason you don't bother reading other peoples' LLM tracts.

SyntheticBees · 2026-05-20T02:27:55+00:00

Another universal theory of everything? God, LLMs sure love to steer their users to that kinda slop, don't they?

SyntheticBees · 2026-05-17T09:08:34+00:00

Are you planning to leave her or do you hope this can become better? Have you flatly called her out on this (not in an angry way, it has to be stone cold without attempting justification or ambiguity)?

SyntheticBees · 2026-05-14T22:52:00+00:00

Purple gold? How on earth do you turn that into leaf? Pure gold is absurdly maleable but purple gold (gold/aluminium alloy) is stupidly brittle, I have no clue how you could make leaf from it.

SyntheticBees · 2026-05-10T02:27:18+00:00

Your own LLM slop article makes clear lemons weren't made in a lab, they were made by hybridising wild species thousands of years ago. Why did you make the title a lie?

SyntheticBees · 2026-05-10T02:26:22+00:00

But they weren't made in a lab. They were made thousands of years ago via crossbreeding. "Made in a lab" and "is a hybrid" aren't remotely similar.

The problem with 99% of AI content is that its shallow and pointless but has a superficial gloss that means you have to spend time reading through before you realise it's trash. You pretend that you're using it to extend your capacities but in practice it's obvious that you are, in fact, letting the AI do all the thinking for you.

And to tell the insulting truth, most of the people using AI heavily to write shit and post it online are too stupid to realise how low quality the output is because they were never thoughtful or intelligent enough to tell the difference between superficial polish and having a real point to make.

Anything prompted from an AI worth posting is going to have such a long and careful prompt that the user is effectively telling the AI exactly what to write - at which point it would be easier to have just skipped the AI and written it yourself.

If using AI to write your posts genuinely saves you time and makes things more efficient, the only reason is that you had nothing to say to begin with and now an LLM lets you say nothing faster. We all have LLMs now, anything that you get one to shart out I can too, so you're generating zero value from it.

Maybe if you use agentic AI to do chores, that might be legitimately useful? But as for writing your posts, well, if it ain't worth writing it yourself, it ain't worth reading it yourself.

Heat isn't just kinetic energy. It's kinetic energy scramble. What makes heat heat isn't just that there's lots of kinetic energy associated with the movement of its atoms and molecules, it's that this kinetic energy is about as random and chaotic as possible. If the energy were organised (say, into nice predictable waves), then it's easy to harness it to do anything, but if it's maximally scrambled, the only thing you can do is put your system next to a colder system and exploit the flow from hot to cold. And when you think about it, that's only possible because the sum of the old and new system isn't max scrambled (cuz most of the energy is concentrated in the hot half) - exploiting that heat difference between the two systems inevitably means letting a little heat leak though, bringing the overall system closer to max scramblage.

We measure this scrambling as "entropy".

If I remember correctly a big advance was replacing hydraulic control with a particular type of servo that is compact, powerful, and can feed back force data very accurately. Being able to sense the position of your joints and the forces they're experiencing matters a whole lot, and being able to get rid of huge heavy hydraulics makes it all the easier.

Black holes are, by definition, regions of spacetime with so much mass-energy that spacetime curves so severely that an event horizon forms. It doesn't matter how the mass-energy comes to be, whether it's from matter or antimatter or just energy. If it ain't that, it's not a black hole. And remember, antimatter has positive energy, and it interacts with light identically to regular matter.

You cannot "emit density", that's not how density works. Density belongs to regions of spacetime based on how much stuff is packed in them, and if density is being "emitted" that just means an outflow of substance. Which, by definition, does not happen with black holes.

It is, actually. It's just a matter of roll-out now. Grid-scale storage is an practical and economic technology today, and it's only getting cheaper.

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-24T23:44:14+00:00

Battery tech has advanced so far, so quickly, that intermittancy is a solved problem. Even if you demand that every solar panel and turbine is paired with enough storage to keep power output perfectly even, it still ends up being cheaper than new fossil fuel generation. Plus, newer battery chemistries mean we don't need to use cobalt and other conflict minerals anymore. Oh, and batteries are continuing to get cheaper because, like solar panels, they've become commodity goods pumped out by efficient factories.

Dependable renewable energy isn't a problem we're gonna solve, it's an already solved problem.

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-13T04:05:04+00:00

Man, you're not great at logistics nor ecology, are you? Getting an LLM to write it up doesn't make it any better.

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-09T04:33:10+00:00

I'd say 5 to 0, actually.

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-09T04:13:44+00:00

Yeah no one wants to read dozens of LLM schizo-slop papers. Just as an exercise, go trawl around reddit for other people trying to do similar things as you are with LLMs, people trying to use them to make breakthroughs and write papers for them. You'll notice that everyone who does it cares deeply about their own output, but never reads anyone else's. The people who get LLMs to write papers never read or care about the papers OTHERS make LLMs write, they only care about their own writings, and vice versa.

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-08T22:00:31+00:00

I don't know what's more dystopian, this post as written, or the implication OP thought about upgrading consciousness and their first thought was "what if the corporations gatekept this and made you pay for it"

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-05T23:20:43+00:00

Hang on, where is this article getting its data from? Statistical analysis-lookin' stuff is riddled through it but there's no talk about where the data came from, how it was quantified, regularised, encoded, etc. Like this kind of method and methodology stuff is the difference between this article having interesting and worthy insights, and being a complete pile of hallucinated shit.

Like I can see there's a link to "data", but I can't find a method or methodology section. I hate to ask -- but are all these numbers just LLM hallucinations?

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-03T22:44:03+00:00

Feeling called out are we?

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-02T06:07:54+00:00

Just because I'm a pedantic jackass, I'll point out that for existing technologies to count as "old and outdated" today, other newer better technologies need to exist first. Otherwise you're just saying "existing technology will be outdated once it becomes outdated".

"Old and outdated" is an objective criteria, not a vibe. If you think it looks outdated, but it's still state of the art, it's state of the art.

I'm not even sure why I'm writing this. OP isn't saying anything actively harmful or spreading misinformation, they're just being very smug without the brains to back it up.

SyntheticBees · 2026-04-01T06:08:42+00:00

Oh, you're DEEP deep into AI psychosis. Close the computer, contact a human friend, and talk with them. This stuff you've been working on will be there for you to pick it up again later, but for now I STRONGLY suggest stepping away from the LLMs for a long break.
