Well one of the three is not like the other, three are very accomplished physicists, one is a youtuber who lies about the game to get clicks. (And we know she lies because she used to play the game quite competently.)
And sure enough they start talking about interpretations of QM.
The author (who is also the submitter; it seems nearly all his submissions are his own blog posts) is not a physicist, so it's hard for me to take seriously his sweeping dismissal of the field. Then I see he links to his own Revolutionary Theory, and it starts to look like outright crankary.
Physics is so deep in epicycles now, and without observations to force people to sacrifice their numerically accurate dumpster fire on the altar of parsimony, we may never progress.
I'm new to HN and was initially excited about the various intellectual and technological posts ... but isn't this literally just written by AI?
I've read like 5 posts in a row and it's starting to dawn on me that all this might be written by AI. Why tf would you even bother posting slop like that?
It's been really bad the last few months. You'd think people would want to share human blogs written by people. But half of the links are just different themes on different blogs all ghostwritten by Claude.
The problem is that we have a bunch of people trying to keep themselves relevant amid a great reshuffle, and there's so much noise that lovingly hand-crafted content gets ignored, so your only rational option if you don't already have an established audience is to slopspam.
I was liking the article until I clicked the link to "Wave Relativity". It seems to be overclaiming things, and ChatGPT is telling me that it's too good to be true.
The problem seems to be that AI can help you write a 200-page long book without ensuring that it's right. I'm currently feeding the book into ChatGPT Pro.

Evidently.

Maybe low-effort internet point farming? Maybe an attempt to rake in some ad money in the odd chance the post goes viral?

Ehh... It's marginally above Reddit, but that is a very low bar to overcome.
It's decent toilet time.
