It is beyond the capability of AI today.

to models can just barely do this thing and it kind of sucks at it and like it's wrong most of the time, but you get these glimmers of like, ooh, they can almost, you know, do this.

Maybe it only works five or 10% of the time.

And then six to 12 months later, it's like models are great at this thing and I would never, I would always use AI anytime I ever do that again.

Like in eval language, you go very quickly from like zero to,

to five or 10% to like 60, 80%.

We are clearly in that middle phase with frontier science and AI where you have all these glimmers of like, wow, it can do something that we never thought AI could do.

So what more interesting place to apply it than science?

I think it may be the most tangible way that we all feel the impact of AGI.

If we dropped like GPT-9 inside of ChatGPT for you today, I'm sure it would be awesome.

But maybe even more awesome would be that we have all of these new materials and we have superconductivity and we understand the nature of the universe and we have personalized medicine.

That's how AI, I think, and AGI will really change our lives.

And fusion power.

Man, why not try and accelerate science and bring about the science of 2050, but in 2030 instead?

And that's our goal.

Yeah.

So I have a very different take on this.

I think it's awesome and exciting.

Like when you, when you take something that has historically been the craft of a relatively small number of people, there aren't that many people in the world that know how to program.

I don't know, like 30 million people maybe.
