Think of the marshmallow test as a short story by a famous author. It rings with truth, but it's not "science".

Your observation, while accurate, is a tangent. The point of the bibliography in the context of an academic paper is to reference the academic merit of the work. In the case of science, this would be reproducible experiments (ideally).

Perhaps you would prefer to include the generated text source as an author.

if it's not reproducible, it's not science

At some point the bibliography needs to reference the LLM itself which would need to be hosted indefinitely.

New comment by jpwagner in "Solving Every Sudoku Puzzle (2006)"

jpwagner — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 19:37:11 +0000

A long time ago I did high school math instruction. I used Sudoku for an initial introduction to proofs - something where the student knew they were implicitly going through a "proof" process.

New comment by jpwagner in "Ask HN: What was your experience starting a tech consultancy?"

jpwagner — Fri, 10 May 2019 16:00:59 +0000

Ran a consultancy for years

Most important advice I'd give is to liberally turn projects down and there are two positive outcomes

- you don't take on projects that don't make sense for you

- the best projects are the ones where the client is resilient enough to negotiate through your initial "no"

i don't think you're imagining the selection process properly.

i think to get the right mental model, imagine instead that they only wrote "send a one-minute video and convince us to invite you".
