In many domains, scientific research is physical. Are they going to deprecate labs and sort of scale that out into a pure compute problem?
They are occupying a term in their headline messaging that is much broader than they can actually cover.
A common pattern these days. Overclaim, attract attention, iterate.
- ktallett 2mo agoYou can create a research twin that can predict but as you say, it only works once you have a lot of data. Both the data relevant to the experiment it came from (which is rarely published) and the complete failure data (which is almost never published in any form).
- physix 2mo agoPredictions are only one part of research. It's what theorists feed experimentalists with. Confirmation of predictions is by and large a very physical endeavour. Labs are not going away. I do feel that it's exciting to see what AI will be able to do to help research and discover new things. My gripe is with their messaging. Because a lot of people will misinterpret that, including politicians, possibly to the detriment of good science.
