There's an entire subreddit called LLMPhysics dedicated to "vibe physics". It's full of people thinking they are close to the next breakthrough encouraged by sycophantic LLMs while trying to prove various crackpot theories.

I'd be careful venturing out into unknown territory together with an LLM. You can easily lure yourself into convincing nonsense with no one to pull you out.

Man, I think about that comment all the time, like at least weekly since it was posted. I can't be the only one.

I think we have to add that one to https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights!

(I mention this so more people can know the list exists, and hopefully email us more nominations when they see an unusually good and interesting comment.)
