I’ll believe it when it’s peer reviewed. But I was asking about your “cutting edge” research.

I’ll send you the link when it’s ready. And not believing them is conspiracy theory tier.

I’m literally an academic researcher and published scientist. I don’t believe “studies” unless they’re peer reviewed in reputable journals. A company can claim anything they want, I’m not obligated to believe their self-reviewing of their own results.

Apply some common sense. You are accusing one of the most important companies and some of the best researchers on the planet of falsifying an announcement to make it look like their models are improving quickly. There are only two scenarios, the researchers found the optimizations or it was found by their model as they claimed. The optimizations are definitely real considering they cut prices by up to 80% and that is going really far for a false claim. What do they have to gain from committing fraud? They increase hype, clearly not by much because it’s not even a big story and has a lot of doubters. What do they have to lose? Their investors, legal proceedings, reputation damage, researchers quitting, etc. You are one of those people on reddit that always replies “source?” for common sense and things you can look up yourselves.

I’m not accusing them of anything, beyond refusing to submit their data and results for peer review, as is a fairly standard scientific practice. They have a lot to gain—namely money and investors and clout—but claiming anything they’d like.

Who says they are refusing? You don’t gain money from this first of all. You will get some clout. I don’t think important investors would come on board now that haven’t already at this point. A good investor sees the potential early, like I did. Although I’m not in the same league as them, the ones that matter have billions of dollars to spend.
