What does it mean in practice for the retail users of Claude?

Yes, but it has also been known for 50+ years that QED has a Landau pole and might be UV trivial or inconsistent, whereas QCD has asymptotic freedom and is thus controlled at UV.
More to the point, QCD has been experimentally tested both at UV (deep inelastic scattering) and at IR, while the physical meaning of testing QED at UV Landau pole regime is unclear.

Why? Did any physicist really doubt it? 4d QCD has been used for approximate calculations for about 45 years

Right, for the important stuff, not this LLM bullshit, people did have either PhDs or came from eminent universities and organizations:
"The EU's common-charger initiative can be traced to Solomon Passy and Gergana Passy, two Bulgarian politicians who proposed it in 2008. Interestingly, Solomon Passy had a PhD in mathematical logic and computer science."

Only 17% of people who laid out LLM transformer foundations between 2017 and 2022 had relevant PhDs. Not that I expect it would sway your faith or stop the downvotes, but just quoting anyway:

In Spain, for example, there is an unpublished list of blocked websites. Among other concerns, they're probably afraid that they won't be able to censor with Starlink.

AI coding is great but the distribution channels have been closed for a while. App stores are effectively closed for new apps and old internet is dead.
