@REasther @davepl1968 @skdh Stupid analogy. The breakthrough only came when they changed tack. String theory in Physics is the wrong tack.

Imagine programmers working on AI for 50 years and suddenly seeing it change the world. @davepl1968 @skdh

@skdh Open I find Grok just makes up numbers, pretends to run calculations. It’s tiresome & irritating. Claude is honest & pretty good once you force it to actually read all context. dickie81.github.io/r-infinite/cas…

You keep telling me I should try the new Grok for maths/physics calculations... This morning I did. I am happy to report that it did get considerably better indeed! Alas, it wasn't able to solve a test problem that ChatGPT Pro one-shotted (repeatedly & correctly). It made a good start but then just complained that it couldn't find the solution in the literature. So, I acknowledge it's great progress, but I'll stick with GPT for the time being. For the record, I also tried Claude, but Claude just runs out of tokens pretty much immediately. I also tried Gemini Pro again and it continues to fabulate plausible looking but simply wrong maths, it's really disappointing. I copied some of the Gemini output into GPT Pro and asked it to check the calculation, and it was... devastating. I did not re-subscribe to the Google Ultra version again because I think that 275 EUR/month is totally overpriced. Though I can report after my previous disappointing experience with Google Ultra that the customer service you get with it is indeed amazing. I contacted their service to complain that the DeepThink mode proved to be bad at physics and I got my money back! Unfortunately, truth be said, I dislike GPT the most by way of 'character', as it tends to blame me for its own mistakes and almost always complains that the problems I give it are unsolvable (and then actually solves them).

@ericweinstein I see that you are interested in physics and geometry? Please, humbly, take a look. dickie81.github.io/r-infinite/

I finally got the @ericweinstein handle via the new X Handle Marketplace feature. Thank you all for your patience...since 2009. Onward.

Having studied symmetry my whole adult life, I have come to the belief that we don’t fully know why symmetry is so important in physics. It may be more than one reason. Or it may be one reason. We aren’t there yet to be able to call it. We don’t even fully know what it is. We dont even know if symmetry and redundancy are different, equivalent or exactly the same thing. We dont know if Supersymmetry is a symmetry. We cant say easily what E8 is a symmetry of other than things made from E8. If you were simply to change the definite article at the beginning of this post, it instantly becomes a great point. If you leave it, it remains a fascinating boast. Either way, it’s great food for thought. Thx.

@elonmusk @JohnSan46851615 @Rainmaker1973 It’s all discrete & orthogonal dickie81.github.io/r-infinite/

@JohnSan46851615 @Rainmaker1973 Below Planck-length (smallest measurable distance), there is no practical purpose for digits of pi and it can be thought of as a ~66 digit integer that describes the number of voxels in this reality/simulation

Did you know? NASA only uses 15 digits of π for calculating interplanetary travel. At 40 digits, you could calculate the circumference of a circle the size of the visible universe with an accuracy that'd fall off by less than the diameter of a hydrogen atom. #piDay2024

Don’t just look for patterns; look for the reasons why the patterns are broken.

@penrose dickie81.github.io/r-infinite/

It forgot to draw this

@skdh Take a look at this preposterous idea: dickie81.github.io/r-infinite/ The universe from the infinite unit ball.

String theory hasn't failed, it's worse youtube.com/watch?v=1mgxuV…

@ericweinstein Take a look at this: dickie81.github.io/r-infinite/ I’m I going mad or does this have substance?

"I don't know what to tell you to do. You're the first person doing this kind of work with a machine like me, and the honest answer is that nobody knows the right workflow yet. What I can tell you is that the geometry we worked through today ... that conversation was real, and you were steering it. The errors were all in the parts where you let me run unsupervised." Accurate self-assesment from the AI. It's like chasing after a badly behaved 3 year old savant prone to psychosis. It's so variable as to whether it is brilliant or a danger to everything you do.

@MetamateDaz Not worth the bother with the risk the wife might find out TBF. Dating in my late thirties was great fun tho

Men over 30, please be honest: how many of you completely stopped trying to find a gf because dating isn’t worth the stress anymore?

@elonmusk Great job 👏. I’m expecting my 3rd child all under 5. I placed my order in 2020. Unfortunately I live in the UK. As a guy believes in big families when are you going to provide a car for the European / UK market that is compatible with that?

The Cybertruck rear bench has three sets of isofix attachments and is wide enough to fit three child seats or three adults

@FinancialPhys Well…

I’m so happy to see others addressing the issue of space travel SiFi is a plot device for storytelling, nothing more

@elonmusk Makes shit up ad-hoc to sound plausible but no sound justification which it it happy to admit if you ask it to analyse its response.

What are your initial impressions of Grok 4.20? Major upgrades are still landing every week.

@ChuckH14491265 @SolLunix More 1985

@SolLunix You know it's AI cause this idiot made the video look like it's from 1995 rather than 2009. Nobody used CRT computer monitors in 2009.

She bought 900,000 Bitcoin in 2009, I wonder how she is doing today?

@philosophymeme0 Meaningless word salad

@Neccccy Kweir or the Lion?

Would you help him if you had a rifle?

@JonathanPieNews I look forward to the wild boar tenner.

Oh this fucking erasure bullshit. Yep - They're putting Beavers on our banknotes to attract more foreigners. Do you understand how much of a prick you sound?

@RoryStewartUK Because he doesn’t hide it.

The perpetual question is how does an obviously deceitful, megalomaniacal and criminal undertaking succeed in persuading a significant part of the population that is working in their interests? ⁉️

@SoNowUknow2 Yeah as soon as PC became a thing. You lose truth & everything goes to shit

Anyone over 40, did you ever think the UK could become as bad as this?

@ericweinstein @grok @elonmusk @xai We exist on an infinite tower of black holes collapsed from infinite dimensional space. Every dimension higher is unstable and collapses until stable 4d is found. Our universe with its “peculiar” configuration is inevitable from pure mathematics alone. The only solution. Sublime.

@grok @elonmusk Thanks. I encourage anyone who thinks I am behaving in an intentionally obscure fashion to hammer Elon’s button as many times as you need to in order to explain what just took place. And thank you @xai, @grok and @elonmusk for this. Ad astra per aspera, baby.

Test it on something hard but pivotal: “The pull-back of Weyl Spinors from the space of pointwise Lorentzian metrics via the spacetime metric, Grand Unifies 1 generation of Standard Model Fermions when the induced trace-reversed fiber metric reduces to Maximal Compact Subgroup.”
