Zach WeinersmithMaybe I'm just crazy, but I feel like there is not enough freaking out going on vis-a-vis recent AI developments. It seems to me science, the arts, transportation, engineering... everything is going to be changed, if not in 10 years certainly in 30. It feels to me like there's a lot of denial going on, of the form "well, it can't do [this one thing]" but that was said about chess programs in the 90s. They're now absolutely unbeatable.
MichaelPhillips@ZachWeinersmith at least in the sciences. I think the hope is that we can crack those problems. I work in biology and the genomics and proteinomics revolutions? Need tools that are bigger than human brains.
@ZachWeinersmith actually and honestly. So does ecology. It's maybe harder problems. Although my colleagues on the very very small scale might disagree
