wow this ancient dna analysis shows that the ‘technically incompetent and prone to contaminate samples’ gene was really prevalent throughout human prehistory
@andy_matuschak@zetalyrae Half the time I feel this way and the other half I'm sure that feeling means I'm missing vast reams of slightly better AI writing
everyone on this site is talking about how newly rich lab employees should be funding more art but I have a feeling yall are still not going to be happy about the live action big budget planecrash adaptation
i think people skeptical of AI's impact on scientific and technological research badly underestimate the *country* part of "a country of geniuses in a datacenter". u really don't actually need each individual instance to be incredibly smart or have fully integrated non-spiky intelligence. just *being able to fan out* over a huge number of problems and hypotheses and put non-trivial focus and effort into each one will absolutely yield a huge quantity of results. humans are currently massively limited by the amount of intellectual labor we have, we spend lots of time focusing on picking which things to further explore because we really don't have the time or people to make mistakes! GLP-1s were just sitting in a cabinet for 30 fucking years. what happens when you have next gen models even start to systematically comb through *existing* clinical trials?
