@josephfkrause listened to your Latent Space interview. I am equally bullish self driving labs and appreciated your point that even at several hundred data points you begin to realize the benefits of autonomous materials science. It’s equally, if not more important, the data is high quality and uniformly structured - not pieced together from disparate sources. That’s the real power of SDLs. Looking forward to your alls progress.

Updates to come this week! There are some great sources included as well.

#3DPrinting

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

I’m starting a small project called AutoPrint: a tiny self-driving 3D printer for Direct Ink Writing.

The idea is to use a modified printer + camera + agent loop to learn the processing window for inks.

Similar to below. It will more valuable than ever to actually know what you’re doing, know things deeply, and be truly good. Keep working towards those goals

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

AI influencers always talk about “developing taste” as a key future skill. Taste is synonymous with knowing what the f**k you are doing.

@mil000 WinterMute is one of the AI’s from Neuromancer (a classic)

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

Exactly. Just put the model in the model bag bro.

[Daniel Jeffries @Dan_Jeffries1]

Please please please. I'm on my knees begging every AI exec on the planet. Just stop with this stuff. Stop.

Just give us models. Let the collective distributed intelligence of people figure things out in real time like we always do. Let people adapt. It's what we do.

It's all just so tiresome. We just want models. We'll figure it out. We promise. We don't need societal level surgery and UBI and robot taxes and ham-fisted legislation and populists politicians passing dumb law after dumb law and lobbying groups and all this craziness.

We are not giving birth to magic super miracle machines that suddenly invalidate every single pattern of the entirety of human history and technological development.

We're not.

Really.

AI is amazing. It's wonderful. But it's not magic. Can we please just let AI be cool and useful and problematic in realistic ways instead of all this crazy talk?

We are hallucinating at a collective scale. It's a madness really. A societal meme level madness.

Just give us a products please and leave all the politics in the garage. Stop proposing societal level surgery with drastic measures for things that have not happened and may not happen and probably won't happen.

Just stop.

I published a curated dataset of direct ink writing inks, herschel bulkley params, and dynamic moduli for materials informatics, ML, and printability assessments.

Inspired by a few posts from @snwy_me, I now have codex ssh’d into a GPU finetuning Google’s DePlot model in pursuit of extracting material properties from scientific figures. amazing how quickly it was to move from reading a tweet to training

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

@AllanatrixQ A lot of data is *generated* but either not recorded or shared. High pedigree data is a huge bottleneck in my opinion.

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

@josephfkrause @RadicalAI Do you also do rheology?

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

@asadkhaliq Very nice piece. Gives me a lot to think about and further empowers me to push models towards the edge. I am one of those privacy enthusiasts you mention - and many are at heart

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

Two potentials:

1) this is somehow foreign intelligence (unlikely)
2) this kids are awesome engineers & need to immigrate to the US

Apparently the Western students were just launching a weapons manufacturing startup

"With a 3D model of an anti drone system loaded on the back of a pickup truck."

It's all just a big misunderstanding... they say

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

@DabsMalone What’s the machine and is this your shop?

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

@shub_5 @DabsMalone You can post process to get full density if needed

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

@Afinetheorem I painstakingly built a rheological database during my PhD from literature. I was gonna turn molt loose on the same papers and see if it can replicate. Your extension as well will def happen soon

[Dom Cipollone @antonius__pius]

I disliked using ImageJ plugins to measure surface tension and contact angle, so I vibe coded Surface Lab. I hope this can turn into a contribution to open science (esp. if we can attach a database on the back end) Please use it & provide feedback!
