AI ranks a zero-point-energy warp bubble teleportation crank paper near the top
examachine · x · 2026-09-10
examachine ran AI scoring on physics cranks, with hilarious results: warp-drive author "Matt" scored extremely high, and Doc Quack's Substack "paper" — Wavefunction-Based Teleportation and Size Manipulation Using Zero-Point Energy Warp Bubbles, about shrinking people and teleporting them through stargates — took second place.
"Holy smack," he writes, noting the author scored near-maximum in the AI evaluation, and joking that he almost ventured into physics "big time" following his lead. The takeaway: a funny failure case of AI evaluation when facing confident pseudo-science.
