22·3 months agoLLMs are deliberately trained to make some obvious mistakes, so that you feel smart when you spot them, and think that they are accurate enough to use because “you spot the mistakes”.

askchapo@hexbear.net•Do you believe dialectics apply to science and scientific conceptsEnglish
6·5 months agoDialectics, in the sense of being an analytical method, can be applied to any area of investigation, and can help understand the contrafictory relations within a system and their development. This does not mean that everything that is known must fit into a dialectical scehma, just that analyzing phenomena dialectically can give a greater understanding of their essense. It is in the analytical form a type of abstraction. You don’t need to put Newtons laws into a dialectical schema to use them, but you could use it to analyze interconnectedness.
That being said, there are plenty of things within physics that can be viewed as contradictions. Newtons third law, for example. Or lights dual nature as both particle and wave. Or the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Or the contradiction between the concentration of energy and matter in the big bang against its dispersion in space and equalization of energy into flat heat.
But the question “is everything subject to thermodynamics” isn’t a really a question of diamat as an analytical method, but rather a question of metaphysics. Is the true essense of everything built up of contradictions and their development? Some would say yes, including several major marxist theoresticians like Mao, others might be skeptical of such a strong claim. But what is clear is that diamat is at least part of everything that makes up reality if one accepts diamats philosophical presuppositions at all, and which is proven through it’s apperance in science and nature, and that diamat as an analytical method is how humans can best understand this part of reality - this is true even if you don’t accept the strongest possible version of the claim.
I would also add that I think a hollistic analysis, focused on interconnection and development, is precisely what many sciences could use to develop, as modern science struggles with being to tied to a static and seperated metaphysics due to the currwnt historical context. Diamat is how one can conduct such an analysis.
