One could say the same about these kinds of comments. If you don't like the content, simply don't read it?

And to add something constructive: the timeframes for enjoying a hype cycle differ from person to person. If you are on top of things, it might be tiring, but there are still many people out there, who haven't made the connection between, in this case, LLMs and mathematics. Inspiring some people to work on this may be beneficial in the long run.





GP didn’t say they didn’t like it. They criticized it. These things are not the same.

Discussions critical of anything are important to true advancement of a field. Otherwise, we get a Theranos that hangs around longer and does even more damage.

Ah yes, the bootlicker's desire of letting the bootlickers winout so there is only walls of bootlicking for any agnostic that happens across a post.

I'd rather dissent so others know dissent is a rational response.


Did you read what she/he says?
