A very high number of Redditors think they know more/better than a Harvard professor and dismiss him out of hand. May someone grant us all a measure of their confidence.

  As a former hep-th guy from a very reputable institution I was ready to at least skim and briefly evaluate 36 particle physics papers. Turns out most of them have nothing to do with physics. It takes a special kind of personality to have the hubris to publish in so many domains at once, and most Harvard/Princeton/etc. physicists I know would probably be critical of this. Not that the disapproval would mean much.
  (I did learn much of my QFT from Schwartz’s QFT textbook though, so I hold him in higher regard than <insert random Harvard Physics prof here>.)

    The blog post should have been posted instead I think - <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/research/claude-shaped-science" rel="nofollow">https://www.anthropic.com/research/claude-shaped-science.
    It's worth a read, and very interesting. All of the papers he posted have relevant experts of said fields on them as I understand it.
