Yeah I was originally envisioning this as an ML theory paper which is why it’s math-heavy and doesn’t have experiments. Tbh, as far as I understand, my paper is far more useful than most ML theory papers because it actually engages with empirical phenomena people care about and provides reasonable testable explanations.
Ha, I think some rando saying “hey I have plausible explanations for two mysterious regularities in ML via this theoretical framework but I could be wrong” is way more attention-worthy than another “I proved RH in 1 page!” or “I built ASI in my garage!”
Mmm, I know how to do “good” research. I just don’t think it’s a “good” use of my time. I honestly don’t think adding citations and a lit review will help anybody nearly as much as working on other ideas.
PS: Just because someone doesn’t flash their credentials, doesn’t mean they don’t have stellar credentials ;)
