No mention of Tom7's "Badness 0" by the author is the a crime!

He managed to create the ultimate version of form over function. All hail Lorem Epsom.

The OP is just a small snippet of plagiarism of an old fact.

If you're reading this and you're put off by the "uses an LLM", don't be. This is not a low-effort video, quite the opposite. This is one of the best YouTube videos I have ever seen.

Tom7 doesn’t know the meaning of the phrase “low effort”.

towards the end of the knuth version

> This presents a problem for the typical way that academic papers are written, which is to do all the work in a coffee-fueled fugue in the last few days before the deadline, then stay up all night writing the paper and finding citations for the pro-forma “related work” section which you did last but you know that the reviewers will insist upon

I have zero exposure to academia but chuckled because thats often what I do for blog posts :P


AIs these days are pretty good for the 'find prior art and related work' part I find. Of course, you should treat their output like that of an over-eager but somewhat unreliable intern.

Which he described as "solving the AI alignment problem".

and in latex too, not just monospace
