Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · 🔬 Automating Science: World Models, Scientific Taste, Agent Loops — Andrew White · 28 Jan 2026 podcast

Yeah, actually we sat on this idea.

Sam and I usually every Monday morning at like eight o'clock in the morning, Sam and I meet.

We're both, you know, caffeinated and ready and we argue about stuff like this.

And we had a lot of Mondays where we talked about scientific taste.

And in the end, we're like, okay, let's just, let's just do the dumbest thing, which is to like have our agents make hypotheses and put them in front of humans and have them be like, I like this one or I like that one.

Right.

So we just did like whatever, RLHF on on hypotheses.

And um we learned a lot about how bad RLHF is with people, just like people pay really attention to to the tone, to the details, to like how

many specific facts or figures from the hypothesis, right?

Like actionability about like if the experiment is feasible.

But what people didn't really pay attention to is like I don't know how to describe this, but like if this hypothesis is true, how does it change the world?

If the hypothesis is false, how does it change the world?

This like, um how much information do you gain?

Uh it's not really information, but like impact or something.

And that really didn't come through from those things.

So then we're like, okay, well, this is maybe one strategy.

And so we had to go back and think about it more.

And um we then took a pause from that research and then we made Cosmos.

And then Cosmos like has baked into it.

Taste, right?
