Sure but think of the Higgs... how long that took for just _one_ particle. You think an AGI, or even an ASI is going to make an experimental effort like that go any bit faster? Dream on!
It astounds me that people dont realize how much of this cutting edge science stuff literally does NOT happen overnight, and not even close to that; typically it takes on the order of decades!
- datadrivenangel 2y agoScience takes decades, but there are many places where we could have more amazing things if we spent 10 times as much on applied R&D and manufacturing. It wouldn't happen overnight, but it will be transformative if people can get access to much more automated R&D. We've seen a proliferation in makers over the last few decades as access to information is easier, and with better tools individuals will be able to do even more. My point being that even if Science ends today, we still have a lot more engineering we can benefit from.
