    I find this to be a mean and misguided post. To suggest that Victor Taelin does not know about formal methods. As I understand, he is trying to do something genuinely new and interesting. And he is transparent about his work, which he then gets hounded for. A shame.

      Why is it mean? The author is above critique?

        It is mean for the last point I mentioned: Taelin is very transpparent about his work which makes it easy to attack him. And what for? This post is not even a proper criticism of Bend 2, it is just trying to paint some story that Taelim is a vinecoder who does not know what he is doing, based on no evidence. If he was not transparent it would not even be known that LLMs have been used.
