So at this point are you admitting fully that you have no evidence for your claim? Your entire bet is conjecture?
> That does not mean the hypothesis is true, it only means you haven't falsified it.
Correct. You can't prove a negative, you've only just figured this out? After I listed TWO simple examples that could be found in an introductory philosophy class?! In the Wikipedia article consisting of a couple of paragraphs I linked you?
PLEASE JUST READ. PLEASE JUST READ. PLEASE JUST READ. PLEASE JUST READ.
You can't prove negative statements. I want you to admit this so I know you understand, now repeat after me: "You can't prove negative statements."
I know this is likely wasted on you, but here goes:
You can't prove the hypothesis: "There does not exist an unobservable teapot in the orbit of Jupiter."
For the SAME reason I can't prove the hypothesis: "LLMs can never eventually be used for generating good incident reports."
For the SAME reason I can't prove the hypothesis: "God doesn't exist."
For the SAME reason I can't prove the hypothesis: "A unicorn does not exist at the center of the Earth."
I fully admit this in the comment you've supposedly read.
This is why the burden of proof lies on the person making the positive claim (this is you).
- reissbaker 2y agoWe're literally discussing a paragraph in which I said "I'd bet [this would work]." No amount of repeatedly claiming there's a "burden of proof" to a bet and all-caps shouting and demanding that I come up with a proof of impossibility that would show the hypothesis is wrong (you may also note that I mentioned that proving a negative is generally more difficult than proving a positive several posts ago — although, in fact, it is technically possible [1]) will make your position a reasonable one. Politely, I will not be continuing to engage with you. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(philosophy)#Proving_a_negative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(philosophy)#P...
