I don't really think there's an analogy between radiosity simulations and drug discovery. Drug discovery will probably remain fairly ad-hoc and stochastic for some time.

- Duanemclemore 3y agoThat's fair. I was merely talking about being able to make better "first guesses." Nowhere near the predictability of a much simpler phenomenon such as radiance mapping, of course. And as the article says, >"There were a lot of models that we didn’t even try because we thought they were so bad,...”
- vlovich123 3y agoTo me the analogy is that generic AI techniques with minimal problem domain specific adaptations is providing huge boosts in efficiency on a wide variety of applications. It’s like the steam engine causing mechanical work to become vastly more efficient. AI in many ways is doing the same thing to intellectual work.

With all the associated bullshit and snake oil and romanticizing of the "good old natty days" too, of course. Big $$$ industry, at least until our brave future does away with voluntary reproduction altogether, being the reason people bother to exercise in the first place.

- AlexeyBelov 3y agoI don't think this analogy works. You spend energy (just a different kind) playing games.
- wegfawefgawefg 3y agoNot everybody is playing factorio or caves of qud. A lot of people are doing color match and fetch quests. It's about as mentally engaging as walking.
- riwsky 3y agoyou say this as if walking didn’t have plenty of cognitive benefits
- wegfawefgawefg 3y agoI meant the cognitive load of ambulation itself. Not the self reflection time or exercise. I do hope people choose a nice walk over color match games.
