ChatGPT proposed these two laws:
FRIAM's First Law: We take difficult philosophical problems and worry
them to death until someone produces either a profound insight, a
completely insane hypothesis, or a phrase like "quantum woo".
FRIAM's Second Law: If a theory is suspiciously elegant, somebody on the
list will throw a shoe at it.
The reason I have asked ChatGPT and Gemini is I am writing a new
self-published book, and the first chapter is about FRIAM. Their
summaries are surprisingly good. I asked them to find funny anecdotes in
the FRIAM archives and they found a post from Nick that said "OK
friammers, All those who think Steve was wrong raise your hands" :-)
If you do NOT want to be mentioned in the chapter because it is too much
quantum woo for you then please let me know or raise your hand. Will
share a draft in a few days.
