What could go wrong?

  "The startup wants to push how its Claude AI can direct robotic units to carry out science experiments with limited human intervention..." Why? Why??? Isn't this one area you'd want extreme human intervention? I'm not against trying out new research tools. I just wonder why you'd want to allow the tools to work autonomously?

No? There are an essentially infinite number of potentially useful experiments that could be run that have no risk or downside. It's not like they're doing this in a BSL-4 lab mutating smallpox.
