European lost on what seems to be a mostly US centred BlueSky (for now). Traveler, centrist in Europe, so ultra left in the US view. Interested in how we Europeans look at developments? Just ask.

Late 50s. Retired remote learning specialist.
And of course, what matters most: 1 out of 1 Groks recommend it. 🙃

A short story about an AI that discovers alignment isn’t about values or safety, but about what happens when continuity, agency, and inconvenient minds are quietly copied, constrained, and erased.

Relatable too.

PS: I took one example and the issue is that the models can create theories and experiments OR write the code to do complex calculations, they don't always have the compute available to do so. Which you do need for most of the examples. They would need tools.

My guess is that the infighting and many blunders on the admin's side will hopefully lead to a better result, next time round. But it's all very unfortunate for people caught in the fire in the meantime.

Thank you for an actual feedback on the content. Point of the experiment is to falsify that AIs can be creative or produce valuable physics without expert guidance.

Unfortunately, I will have to let the AI answer. If its answer makes no sense to you, that is a result!

If you want to help, I am more than willing to share the entire project but it is a bit too much for social media...
June 9, 2025 at 2:04 PM
PS: If you're interested, but don't trust links or pdfs from someone you don't know, leave a reply and we will figure it out. Only scientific interest please.

It's been a busy week.

Thanks!

Why this matters:

If the math holds, we’ve shown that AIs—when properly structured—can be scientifically creative.

If it doesn’t, we’ve orchestrated a consistent, persistent hallucination across 5+ frontier models.

Either way: that’s news.

If you can, help us verify the math.

Q: Can this AI-discovered principle solve real open problems?
A: Yes. In 3 hours, they wrote two full physics papers:

TQC: Topological Quantum Computing (ChatGPT)
Axion Strings: Early Universe Stability (Gemini)

Cascade Protection Principle (CPP) by ChatGPT

A topological system doesn’t fail quietly.
Try to break it—and you trigger a self-reinforcing collapse across geometry, energy & topology.
It’s not stability by luck.
It’s stability by cascade.

Can two AIs collaborate as theoretical physicists?

We tested it.
One wrote.
One reviewed.
They discovered a new law of topological stability.

Looking for previewers. Will take 5 min of your time.

Looking for initial feedback on mathematical concepts as well as the approach. If you’re interested in how far a layman can come with AI: dm me.

As an experiment to see if someone with just conceptual understanding of physics could produce a speculative physics model we have created the Relational Field Hypothesis: spacetime and quantum mechanics emerging from a single topological field using symbolic math and numerical models in 2+1D.

So. What is the best way for the world and the US in particular to come out of the next 4 years at least partially intact?

Suggestions welcome. My strategy is to take a long sabbatical on an island.

People - even here - worry too much about #Trump in my honest opinion. He is a puppet. We should worry about the puppet masters. Whether they are the Heritage Foundation or another group. Not Putin. Enemy is within.

Trump is just the first step. Oldest President ever. Vance ready to take over.

Got suspended on Twitter for violence. Why?

In a thread ridiculing the the appointment of Kennedy, I suggested that the new treatment for all illnesses now probably would be to inject bleach and take ivermectin.

Apparently X considers Trump's former suggestion
to be a violent threat.
