You're trolling and that's not cool
> Unfortunately, they were not impressed and ultimately did not offer me the job :(
Sorry to hear that. No recruiting process is perfect. They often get it wrong, as they clearly did here!
Sorry to be the devil's advocate (just call me Beelzebub ... sung like Queen [1])
There may be other factors. Hiring is complex. They could have judged tbis fairly and they may have had a better candidate. Having a project like this should probabilistically increase your chances.

You're thinking grandiosely. It's pretty simple situation thats different from that one.
No one's trying to lay claim to if this individual product "becomes Dropbox", and you're not saying you can build it in a weekend, which is the comment you're referring to.
I think you may be swapping in a bailey of "oh we're arguing about whether this will be "successful"" because the motte of "what is this for, it can't work!?" was obviously stupid, as you've ceded.
The original ftp dropbox comment was about usefulness rather than success IMO. They were saying why is this needed.
With the conraption here. It is not useless, sure, but that is not a high enough bar to use resources to manufacture it or for there to be a market for it. Other than someone mentioned geek consumerism.

The problem is the word "know" being overloaded.
First person know is belief. To some extent: this is just faith! Yes we have faith that the laws of physics wont change tomorrow, or we remember yesterday happened etc. Science tries to push that faith close to fact by verifying the fuck out of everthing. But we will never know why anything...
The other "know" is some kind of concept of absolute truth and a coincidence that what someone belives matches this. Whether that coincidence is chance or astute observations or in the paper's case: both.

Mathematicians already explored exactly what you describe: this is the difference between classical logic and intuitionistic logic:
In classical logic statements can be true in and of themselves even if there as no proof of it, but in intuitionistic logic statements are true only if there is a proof of it: the proof is the cause for the statement to be true.
In intuitionistic logic, things are not as simple as "either there is a cow in the field, or there is none" because as you said, for the knowledge of "a cow is in the field" to be true, you need a proof of it. It brings lots of nuance, for example "there isn't no cow in the field" is a weaker knowledge than "there is a cow in the field".
It is a fascinating topic. I spent a few hours on it once. I remember vaguely that the logic is very configurable and you had a lot of choices. Like you choose law of excluded middle or not I think, and things like that depending on your taste or problem. I might be wrong it was 8 years ago and I spent a couple of weeks reading about it.
Also no suprise the rabbit hole came from Haskell where those types (huh) are attracted to this more.foundational theory of computation.

It's remarkable how LLMs have skipped any kind of philosophical grounding for "how do we know that this output is valid?" and just gone straight to "looks good to me". Very postmodernist. Also why LLMs are going to turn us into a low-trust society.
A tool for filling the fields with papier-mache cows.
The scary thing is excellent advances in all the other AI/ML need to fake people: text to speech and back, yolo, video generation. The illusion might become the reality. We need a few generations to die (100 years time?) before we will shake of this need to even be human! Who is going to say no to a perfect memory implant. Now a never get dementia implant. And so on! Finally what is the cow even?

That is great. How do you even handle the daily divergence that must happen due to micro decisions made by various APIs. For example I wont mention their name but one OpenAI compatiable provider doesn't fully work with OpenAI client and had various holes so you need to account for that. The other hard thing is just the fast pace of AI. What if the underlying concepts change!
Well done!
Lying is also a sin and 90+% of the time when people say they are "busy" they are not.
Depends what you mean by busy. I use the "free" designation option to plan work in my shared calendar. I am busy but I am also free for a meeting if needed. In server parlence this might be an async batch processing job.
Peope who do 0.8 hours work and collect a full time salary while playing golf and pretending they do 8 are rare I suspect.
