I always take these statements with a grain of salt. This paper used absolute state-of-the-art AI methods and was still several person-months of work. And in the end it's just a proof-of-concept. AI is not magic (yet).

If I offended you, I was probably talking about you. If I’m wrong, update/inform/regale me with why, or don’t.

What’s happening is the commoditization of some forms of research which by Jevons paradox will lead to more economic activity in the end

He’s heavy in research science around chemistry and novel applications for food and fragrance. All the novelty comes from him, he’s using entirely for the rote work. This also isn’t his first exposure but he is finally hit a stretch where he can afford to update his workflows and now he’s seeing its power

This is the natural reaction the first time people use these models. Certainly what I felt too in the first month of using ChatGPT and MJ in 2022. But turning the initial wizardry into repeatable business value is hard. We're going to see a lot of those stories play out in 2024

We do need more people focused on discovering important latent information and sharing that effectively into the world, your service will be valued :)

🙏 you’re telling me there’s a chance I can guiltlessly read books all day while 20 gigabrains do everything? Hell yeah

If only, I don’t buy AGI tbh. I think it’s as likely as the fountain of youth. Everything we’ve ever assumed would get us to a promised land never has. The pursuit seems to always result in a new area of more work, I’m okay with that personally, I like having things to do

Does anyone else feel an intense pressure to experiment, learn, and incorporate these tools into their lives to maintain relevance?

I believe it! And then when you can automate these things? Innovation in your sleep.
