This article on hackernews reads the same as "Advancing Theorem Proving in LLMs through Large-Scale Synthetic Data" would on conkernews.

I'm also pretty disturbed by it being here. Even worse on place #1.

I'd recommend finding more important things to be disturbed by.

#1 does feel a bit much but I don't mind getting a kick out of titles/situations which could be interpreted immaturely.

I'd rather read and learn about conkers than another snake oil AI / crypto blogspam.

It's almost like people upvoted it or it's quiet. Commenting on it won't help; downvote it if you want, upvote things you do want to see.

I for one am here for the random things that pop up on occasion. I have zero interest in LLMs and crypto-bollocks (mainly because I'm not earning money off of it)
