And we thought that was like a pretty verifiable ver pretty verifiable question.
But every time we would train a model, it would find some new insanely weird trick to generate these molecules.
And and I I I'll just tell you one of the examples was that um uh it would make these molecules and we would do some checks to make sure like it had the right bonds, the right number of electrons, certain of atoms and stuff like that.
Um, but it would just solve the problem in any way possible.
Right.
So like it would just put all the nitrogens over here, put the oxygen over here, just like things that don't look good.
Yeah.
And sort of sort of come up with these rules of like, oh, let's check to make sure it followed these good practices or these good practices.
And we found ourselves into this, like, you know, it's like the opposite of the bitter lesson, like I don't know, the boutique lesson where you like try to make everything custom.
But one of the things it kept doing is it kept putting these nitrogens in a row.
And it put like one nitrogen, two nitrogen, three nitrogen, all in a chain.
And this is like, you know, if you have three nitrogens, it's like explosive, you know, two nitrogens is like bad, and like four nitrogens you can't make.
Yeah.
And I kept telling everyone, like it would make these like six nitrogen compounds, and they're just they're just literally impossible.
And they're not possible.
And many of the people on the team were like computer scientists, like on this team.
And one of 'em like one day sent me the like this is on the cover of Nature Today on Nature's website.
Somebody made a six nitrogen compound.
And this is like somebody's like career to deliver this compound because this is the most unstable, like insane compound you could make.
It's some ridiculous setup and it like the spectroscopy to get that proven was like very difficult.
