#43Computation is not the hard part of discovery.
Re: Discovery Loop
#44I’ve always felt that the idea that science is bottlenecked and therefore needs more automation only works for a very narrow definition of what science is, and entails a very specific view on what it should be.
Lets keep your comment out of the VC pitch deck shall we?

#45They're structuring the new company as public benefit corporation.
Does this mean anything besides for corporate virtue signaling?

#47From Jeff's twitter post: > Our general approach is to automate the experimental loop. We think this approach is broadly applicable across many different fields of science and engineering. We’ll initially focus on ML research and engineering, but believe the approach can help with important subproblems in nearly every one of the fourteen NAE Grand Challenge problems. We think doing this well requires strong expertise…
Acquisition back by Google in 3 years, with nothing to show for it. VCs will make a ton.

#48This is very cool. It might be a new scientific revolution to have computer-driven discovery. So often we find things that are "this could have been done 20 years ago" and with an indefatigable searcher perhaps we'll close all those things. Though it does remind me of that Ted Chiang (I think) story where humans and superhumans coexist and all the science of the former is meta-studies of the work of the latter.

And ... it might not.

True, nothing might be anything. But I'm an optimist :)
Re: Discovery Loop
#50Oh wow, that's a blow to Google, what's with the talent scarcity in ML. Though if this goes anywhere Google will likely buy them back.
Google down $160Bn so far since the leaving announcements. Those are some valuable people!
Google is literally at the same stock price it was on Monday. This is a normal daily fluctuation for them.
