Harvard physicist's take on the VMS

[Oscroft]

Sorry for the long-ass post. I hope this helps explaining what they're on about.

On a more general note: the whole "hurr durr, just let the AI summarize it for you" is insane to me. If we have papers written by AI, and the only one who can read it is a different AI (or even the same AI), what the hell is the point? Who are these papers even for? The scientific process is about advancing the extent of human knowledge. If we publish nonsense that nobody can read, literally nothing is gained.

For what it's worth, I think chapter 5.6 ("Purposes, parallels and possible refutations") is at least a worthwile read. I'm not saying they're correct, but I think you can reasonably follow what they are saying.

That's brilliant, thanks from me too. In summary, it sounds like the whole thing boils down to "We tried running AI on it, but got nothing."
