ChatGPT uses auxiliary models to perform certain tasks like basic math and programming. Your explanation about plausibility is simply wrong.

If you fine tune a LLM on math equations, odds are it won't actually learn how to reliably solve novel problems. Just the same as it won't become a subject matter expert on any topic, but it's a lot harder to write simple math that "looks, but is not, correct" than it is to waffle vaguely about a topic. The idea of a LLM creating a robust model of the semantics of the text it's trained on is, at face value, plausible; it just doesn't seem to actually happen in practice.

40k breeding forums are usually pretty chill

Or... the whispers were reported by the other party, or detected by an automatic abuse detection system, they paid off his contract because he was suing them for it and they weren't confident it was a good investment to fight

Well, we knew he was a shitbag beforehand, so that's not really what's in question

I'm not a physicist, I don't know one way or another. But it's possible that there's a leading explanation for the formation of the universe based on a mathematical model that predicts exactly one big bang.

Based on the comment you're replying to, I assume they would say "no, nothing materialized from nothing because there wasn't a 'before' in which nothing could have existed"

It wouldn't have been published, and he's only relatively famous if you're a topologist, but it was Charlie Frohman. Not that it must carry the same weight for you, but I value his insight highly, even if it's just a quip.

Yes, but it proves that termwise comparison with the harmonic series isn't sufficient to tell if a series diverges.

The assumption is that the size decreases geometrically, which is reasonable for this kind of self similarity. You can't just say "less than harmonic" though, I mean 1/(2n) is "slower".

Quoting a relatively famous mathematician, linear algebra is one of the few branches of math we've really truly understood. It's very, very well behaved

Lived in Iowa for a few years, there were a few authentic Mexican places, just not as many as Americanized ones.
