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?
