How AI is revolutionising science

[@damori3604]

People are all so scared of AI, but I'm honestly so excited for the future! 😅😂

[@cswy23]

Ignorance is the problem. Educating people on the benefits of AI and how it can enhance people's lives is how you'll change their minds. Show them, don't just tell them.

[@Seriouslydave]

Because ai will never hate humans, we dont impact its existence, we created it, and we are giving it everything it needs, its humans that will use ai to hurt other humans that we should be worried about. 100 million years of evolution and survival, we cant shake the impulse to compete or defend, in 1000 years.

[@jayplay8140]

Lets hope your position isn't made redundant

[@null-0]

People use AI for all the wrong reasons. Of course people are worried. I can stand by Medical and Environmental uses, HOWEVER, generative AI is made to f with people that are barely making minimum wage.

[@cswy23]

Quick maths- At 12:00 he says it did 700 experiments in 8 days. That's approximately 30,000 experiments in a year or 120,000 in 4 years. He said that a student wouldn't even be able to do 700 during that same time period. That's something like a x200 increase in volume of experiments. An increase in that level of magnitude isn't just game changing, it's revolutionary.

[@tesla6422]

Only if the number of whatever they're calling "one experiment" is the bottleneck.

[@DarkSnideoftheRainbow]

@@tesla6422 Well I mean I'm literally basing this off of 2 sentences in a quarter hour youtube documentary, not exactly the best data points to go off, of so I figured I'd keep estimations a bit on the cautious side. Obviously this tech is going to get better and more efficient over time, that's the whole point of machine learning in general. I just wanted to throw out a rough estimate to help people conceptualize just how much faster even this very early stage is.

[@edwinndirangu659]

AI might be a gamechanger to helping discover cures for rare diseases that big pharma find unincentivizing due to minimal profit margins vs upfront costs.

[@charlessmyth]

As per the pill-popping economy, that is worth Trillions to the US and European economies, Big Pharma exists as a way to maintain a willing public to pay a global tax for longer :-)

[@anthonybustamante5736]

Yep

[@tjs200]

but if its useful enough couldnt they just charge more for it? Why would they purposefully not sell a cure they found for some rare disease?

[@ぶ乙]

The problem here is some tropical diseases researches like malaria just don’t get enough funding because of, well money. The main funding for these research areas are trusts and donation, not industry where the money are. Industry doesn’t want to fund these reasearches especially foundational parts meaning we just can’t find the cure. Sure they’ll sell the cure if they have it, no incentive not to. But there’s no incentive unfortunately to find the cure. My prof had to change his research area because of this.

[@anthonybustamante5736]

@@tjs200 other comment exactly. They would sell the cure for sure, but likely not fund research to FIND it

[@jansoltes971]

Do you realize that most problems in this world are caused by spiritual misery like human greed? Human greed, for example, leads to exploited working classes, enslaved and tortured animals, environment destruction, civilisation diseases, etc. Yes, AI can help. But people should, in the first place, start to "cultivate their inner universe". They must start to live meaningful lives and run societies in a manner that is more just.

[@cswy23]

AI is a tool. It's humans with bad intentions that we have to worry about.

[@Withnail1969]

It won't because it doesn't exist.

[@thederpydude2088]

​@@jansoltes971 I kind of agree with you, but how do you mean that human greed is spiritual misery?

As promising as this is for medicine and other fields, let's be clear that we already have all the science and technology we need to solve world hunger and put a massive dent in climate change. We just need to, y'know, grow a spine and do it.

[@hugh261]

At the expense of feeding the asset hording syndrome of the ultra rich? Lol.

@hugh261 you're gonna have to explain yourself better than that, dude

[@tjs200]

those arent the only two problems in the world?

[@BigBoiiLeem]

@@tjs200 My point is that people are deferring action on these problems because they're saying AI will bring new advances that it may or may not bring, and that we don't even need. Are you being intentionally thick? Or is it congenital?

[@maeljegu8324]

bro what is this, i dont think enough research is done in alignment to human values, to valuing human interference and updating software. So ai might achieve these goals, but what will it destroy as a result? All this is awesome if we are able to stop ai, if it goes too far in our opinion and the ai doesn't see our opinion as an obstacle it needs to learn to navigate around to achieve its initial goal. Because sometimes, we don't see the cost of achieving a goal until we start the journey.

[@SeanLawlorNelson]

Hello: Sean Nelson, Scientist. 10 years ago I accurately would have told you A.I. was sheer hype and that although the memorizing and computing capacity of modern computers was something, human and even animal reason have immense advantages in terms of both intelligence and achievement, profundity and practicality. The crux of this reality comes down to the lack of a motive; Computers and robots have no motivation to be intelligent or actually think(and to think brilliantly is often to go against the flow,) such as Darwinian biological life-forms have. But I came up with the field of synthetic genetics, and I've had scientists working on it; along with other fields of actual A.I.. But I must alert you that everybody is saying the words 'Artificial Intelligence,' but 'Intelligence' is a very high bar that few indeed have reached.

Why are there better grounds to expect AI to be a larger game changer than the internet? It is being suggested but not explained. Personally the internet feels to me like a more important game changer than AI or if I'm being generous equally important.

[@darkhelmet12e47]

If general AI happens it could do anything that humans can do, including make more of itself. It would turn every aspect of the world inside out.

[@nigel-uno]

How narrow does your thinking have to be to not see the potential of artificial intelligece that exceeds human intelligence?

[@danielvandermaas5370]

@@nigel-uno sure I see enormous potential for that kind of AI. But I'm talking about the AI that we actually have today and are likely to have in the near and mid term future. Which is not even close to the type of AI your are describing. It is not clear to me why it is reasonable to expect that the AI that we currently have and will have in the near future is going to be even bigger then the internet (which is a very very high bar)

[@nigel-uno]

@@danielvandermaas5370 If it's not clear how the AI of today can even revolutionize the world, you did not watch the video or possibly you did not understand the concepts discussed like AlphaFold. It is quite clear that AI even in the near future that use agentic reasoning will affect nearly every industry. In the short span of 5 years, AI has gone from being used only for analyzing datasets to being able to mimic speech near perfectly (see Google's NotebookLLM podcast feature) and handle multi step tasks to reach an objective. The tasks which were self assigned. Go look up the AI that lied to a TaskRabbit worker to solve captcha. That is from over a year ago. 5 years is literally nothing and huge amounts of technological progress was made. To think AI won't continue to make huge strides progress is wishful thinking.
