Subject: Re: [FRIAM] What is FRIAM and is it still alive 

ChatGPT proposed these two laws:

FRIAM's First Law: We take difficult philosophical problems and worry 
them to death until someone produces either a profound insight, a 
completely insane hypothesis, or a phrase like "quantum woo".

FRIAM's Second Law: If a theory is suspiciously elegant, somebody on the 
list will throw a shoe at it.

The reason I have asked ChatGPT and Gemini is I am writing a new 
self-published book, and the first chapter is about FRIAM. Their 
summaries are surprisingly good. I asked them to find funny anecdotes in 
the FRIAM archives and they found a post from Nick that said "OK 
friammers, All those who think Steve was wrong raise your hands" :-)

If you do NOT want to be mentioned in the chapter because it is too much 
quantum woo for you then please let me know or raise your hand. Will 
share a draft in a few days.
