According to Noether's theorem, the conservation of energy is the result of time-translation symmetry.
As such breaking time-translation symmetry could allow for the violation of the conservation of energy.
There are some small-scale demonstrations of broken time-translation symmetry, but nothing that leads to a violation of the conservation of energy, & certainly not the creation of energy.
I'm most interested in this from an AI safety perspective, i.e. AGI has less reason to kill all humans if it can just think its way into infinite energy and by extension infinite resources
