Nicole Sharp<p><strong>Ultra-Soft Solids Flow By Turning Inside Out</strong></p><p>Can a solid flow? What would that even look like? <a href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.134.058205" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Researchers explored</a> these questions with an ultra-soft gel (think 100,000 times softer than a gummy bear) pumped through a ring-shaped annular pipe. Despite its elasticity — that tendency to return to an original shape that distinguishes solids from fluids — the gel does flow. But after a short distance, furrows form and grow along the gel’s leading edge. </p> Front view of an ultra-soft solid flowing through an annular pipe. The furrows forming along the face of the gel are places where the gel is essentially turning itself inside out. <p>Since the gel alongside the pipe’s walls can’t slide due to friction, the gel flows by essentially turning itself inside out. Inner portions of the gel flow forward and then split off toward one of the walls as they reach the leading edge. This eversion builds up lots of internal stress in the gel, and furrowing — much like crumpling a sheet of paper — relieves that stress.

Benjamin Knispel<p>To be fair, though, I must add that the LLM even mentioned the usual caveats here. But these may not have been understood by the person:</p><p>“requires rigorous mathematical formulation and testing - currently speculative without such validation”</p><p>“a tall order needing extensive proof”</p><p>“a hypothesis awaiting the hard test of evidence”</p><p>5/5</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DunningKruger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DunningKruger</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/relativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relativity</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a></p>
Benjamin Knispel<p>After all, what could possibly go wrong when non-physicists pour their “physics buzzword bingo” with questions that sound like physics (but are not) into an LLM that ultimately doesn't understand physics either?</p><p>If the LLM then says, among other things, “it does seem almost too logical and elegant to be completely wrong”, this is of course problematic. Especially if the person at that point decides not to listen to any experts at all…</p><p>4/</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DunningKruger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DunningKruger</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/relativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relativity</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a></p>
Benjamin Knispel<p>My objection that the central definition underlyinig the “theory” is not physical and ambiguous was completely ignored.</p><p>Worse still: because I was perceived to be to “stupid” has led the person to conclude that they will only discuss this with AIs in the future because “it obviously doesn't make sense (anymore) to discuss it with physicists.”</p><p>That's probably a problem. </p><p>3/</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DunningKruger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DunningKruger</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/relativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relativity</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a></p>
Benjamin Knispel<p>Often they have become so bogged down in their pseudo theories that it is almost impossible to have a meaningful discussion with them.</p><p>Sometimes you can try and present a well-reasoned objection.

Benjamin Knispel<p>Today, I realized another risk of AI that I hadn't considered before, namely as a Dunning-Kruger amplifier.</p><p>At the institute, I regularly have contact with people (*) who think they have refuted the theory of relativity or solved other big physical problems.</p><p>Usually, these “solutions” are simply meaningless sentences that sound like physics, but are not physics.</p><p>1/</p><p>(*) So far only men.</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DunningKruger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DunningKruger</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/relativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>relativity</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a></p>

Sunflower Björnskalle 🌻<p>Wait, this was more interesting than I thought. With a high enough current, the Lorentz force can compress a conductor so that it doesn't vaporize due to the extreme current. This means you can make a directed lightning weapon that works like a taser. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lix-vr_AF38" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=lix-vr_AF38</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/electricity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electricity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>engineering</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/electricalengineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electricalengineering</span></a></p>
