Or running molecular simulations, I can keep our whole cluster pegged at 100% CPU for weeks

  I've heard generative AI is better at that, or determining configurations and folding patterns But I figure it is a broad field, so I'm curious what you're doing and if it is the best use of time and energy I'm also assuming that the generative AI model wouldn't run on your machine well and need to be elsewhere

    You’ve heard that generative AI is better at what, precisely? Many problems rely on simulations that follow rules derived from experimentation or theory. Are you suggesting that replacing such a simulation with a generative model that appears to follow similar rules is superior?

      ^ Exactly, generative AI can /sometimes/ help at /sometimes/ the first step of high throughput structure searching for example, but if you want results that are grounded in reality, then you need to fallback to classical simulations based on the laws of physics to verify them. I think the above answer was just a hype parrot I would love it if generative AI could get us even further, we are severely compute limited and also testing in the lab is 20k a pop ... I am strongly incentivised for generative AI to be the answer, but as someone who works deeply in the field, the hype is real.
