Just wanted to share an interesting work that uses agentic AI to automate solving problems described in natural language using optimization frameworks

I think these developments are especially timely as JPL has expressed recent interest in using agentic AI like Claude for automated mission planning, with manpower limitations becoming a factor for large scale moon base logistics. Mission planning is a multi-objective process where risk analysis, scientific interest, and navigational constraints are in play, so it becomes natural to borrow the formalism from optimal control to solve these problems. In contrast with end-to-end language-to-action mapping between human instructions and control outputs, language-to-code and language-to-reward approaches may be attractive for their interpretability and safety guarantees

Either geniuses crackpots are all autistic, that crackpots think geniuses are all autistic, that autistic people are more likely to be crackpots (I doubt), or crackpots like to hide behind disabilities for some reason.

And this is among other common sayings like:

• I'm new to this community.
• English is not my first language so I have to use LLM to format my thoughts.
• I am just a driver of an idea, which is what's important, and all the nitty gritty mathy stuff is busywork that should be left to LLM or other community members to appreciate my idea.
• My idea is worth a PhD thesis, and someone else should look at it.
• I'm a busy and important person. Life is busy. I have no time.
• I'm not trained in physics, so my research / viewpoint has value being "independent".
• Because I am an independent researcher, it's hard to obtain ArXiv endorsement.
• ArXiv is establishment.
• This is still a work in progress, but my idea is nontrivial and warrants attention, and things are starting to work.
• Yes, there may be a mistake here, but my idea is nontrivial and warrants attention.
• Yes, there may be multiple mistakes here, but my idea is nontrivial and warrants attention.
• Yes, I have taken impossible assumptions for my model to work, but my idea warrants attention.
• I know more than you because I have an advanced degree. No I don't have a PhD. No I don't have publications. No, I don't even have an advisor. But it's because I'm very new and still learning, but my idea is definitely superior than your abilities.

— Just curious.
