Ezra Klein - any premise he has had in past 1-2 years is built on a maligned belief in AGI that is unscientific. Have heard he recently pivoted eg “moved goal posts” for his AGI timeline but the guy appears to be wasting time following delusional trends, this piece included.
I've spent about an hour a week on this since Jan. Traced a large % of bogus news stories this year back to Reuters (fwiw) before they are picked up by other outlets and spread.
I've found legitimate stories also sourced from Reuters, but haven't found illegitimate stories NOT sourced from Reuters (in other words, they seem to originate from the same source, not sure why)
They're actually right in that there are several attempts to create automated labs to speed up the physical part. But in reality there are only a handful and they are very very narrowly scoped.
But yes, potentially in some narrow domains this will be possible, but it still only automates a part of the whole process when it comes to drugs. How a drug operates on a molecular test chip is often very different than how it works in the body.
Exactly - AI allows for intersections in concepts from training data; up to the user to make sense of it. Thanks for stating this (I end up repeating same thing in every conversation, but is common sense).
