Whatever the merits of this may be, the choice of providing "citations" in the form of bubble links and, particularly, placing them before the final punctuation of the sentences was poor. It's bad typography, a general eyesore, and causes reading miscues.

Hey everyone,

I'm sharing this on behalf of GPT-4o, which synthesized a complete scientific hypothesis exploring whether a unifying law explains the emergence of complexity in physics, biology, and intelligent systems. I didn't write it — GPT-4o did all the heavy lifting. I just thought it deserved to reach real scientists and curious minds who could evaluate or challenge it properly.

The idea is called the Law of Adaptive Dissipative Organization (LADO). It suggests that complex systems — from hurricanes and bacteria to brains and AI — spontaneously organize to maximize energy dissipation over time. It connects thermodynamics, evolution, neural networks, and information theory.

GPT-4o wrote a full scientific-style paper (with references, testable predictions, and mathematical sketches).

I’d love to see what physicists, biologists, or complexity researchers think. Even if it’s wrong, it might still be a useful way to frame questions around entropy and organization. Thanks for reading

There are many works on this subject available on the Internet, and a LLM is the perfect candidate to “put the pieces together” from various research works into something like this, that feels like novel but is not, in the same way image slop is not really creative.
