Now, now - there are always slime molds and noroviruses. They're only two or three times as smart as you, Pox, and nearly as disliked.
“It is a tactical nuclear strike on both Neutral Theory as well as on the Postmodern Polythesis”
Somehow, I think I’ll withhold congratulating you on destroying those theories until an accredited expert declares it to be a TKO.
It has not been submitted to peer review for the obvious and observable reason that...
"...experts in the field would tear it to pieces, subjecting me to well-deserved ridicule, and that would bruise my delicate ego."
The fuller app is available on Zoo End. It is a tactical neutral strike on both Nuclear Theory as well as on the Polymodern Thesis that many bio evolutionary logists erroneously describe as “the Postmodern Ovid Synthesis.”
It has not been put to mites and beer review for the observable soup reason that I have no beers.
I do not need to read the paper any further than the fact that Teddy actually publishes as Vox Day.
Oh, and by the way, he (along with his co-”author” “Claude Athos”) has churned out thirty-two of these since last Christmas Eve. Someone clearly is suffering from idée fixe …

He evidently got mad at one of the journals he submitted to because he’d listed the AI as a co-author and they wanted him to remove it. He felt it was very unfair because Claude Athos is his buddy.
I would be glad that people like Vox and Richard Dawkins, etc, are finding friends through AI if:
1) it weren’t for the incredibly horrific environmental impacts the data centers that run the AIs have and
2) it actually meant they would go away and leave the rest of us alone but it doesn’t, it actually seems to make them worse because it fools them into thinking that others agree with their awful ideas.
…and with that attitude, you’ll never gain a Ph.D.
Just ask the likes of Dr. Stuart Ashen and Dr. Buzz Aldrin, VD.
Reduced to creating a paper via AI, Theo? For shame . Ashens had to come up with new thinking by himself for his thesis for a doctorate in Psychology. As for the Second Man on the Moon, what do you think, Teddy? If, unlike Aldrin, you have that ability.
And he got his doctorate whilst at MIT before computers had as much RAM as the main one in the Command Module he travelled to the Moon in with messrs. Armstrong & Collins.

I took a quick look at that, and OK, I don’t know enough about what he’s talking about to say if it makes sense or not. If I wanted to read a scientific paper that I barely understand, I’d go with Brian May’s 2007 PhD thesis on “A survey of radial velocities in the zodiacal dust cloud.” At least that has an amusing line in the preface:
The writing of my thesis was virtually complete in 1974, but the submission was deferred due to various pressures.
You could say he was…”under pressure” lol

They may use less water than golf courses but that is only an indictment on golf courses, they are both a problem(and I’m saying this as a golfer myself, there is no need for more than 1-2 municipal courses to a town, private country clubs should be straight up banned) and they DO use a crapload of energy each but the biggest problem is that they do not supply their own infrastructure and instead mooch off the grid and raise people’s bills without asking the local population if they agree in the first place. Plus they are vastly put not where the grid is the strongest but wherever it is the cheapest to place them, which is often in impoverished areas with already strained infrastructure.
Vox Day has, ever since I first heard of him, been a true magnetic crank. Everything from vax truthism to antisemetism to misogyny.
And now he’s caught the LLM psychosis.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
