Most of HN is not qualified either to judge the quality of AI, ML, opsec, renewables or any of a whole host of topics that are actually deeply complex.

But that does not mean it does not classify as potentially substantial news, that at least should be visible.

Nobody is arguing that it shouldn’t be more properly vetted when published via normal scientific channels, as these things usually are.

I’m not saying anyone’s arguing that. But I’m just trying to establish if it is being properly vetted anywhere. If so, it would be nice to amplify the vetting as much as the claim itself, given its seriousness.

> topics that are actually deeply complex

The topics you mentioned are all part of a CS masters degree (and by far not the most complex ones there).

Many people on HN have a CS background so they are surely qualified.
