He used AI to program robot arms.
Any subject matter experts care to chime in with your gut feeling about where this sits in the "promising potential treatment" to "AI psychosis" spectrum?
It's closer right now to interesting hobby project from a guy who's trained in chemistry, like a guy who's a mechanic keeping a project car. Maybe he publishes and it goes somewhere, I have a feeling getting approval for trials will be challenging with his setup as it is now. I do like the "do chemistry the old fashion way" ethos though. I wish he added a blurb about why he's doing it this way
Yeah, drug development is one of those things where practically the only way to make it to production is to let a big incumbent with a big enough war chest to drag it across the finish line buy it.
Painfully editorialized headline. He used AI to program robot arms.
That does not seem to be an accurate description of what has happened here. What it looks like is someone with significant biochemical experience and a Harvard PhD has created some kind of drug or chemical that he thinks will be effective for treating Alzheimer's, and that he mentions using Claude Code to help him program some of the complex chemical engineering machines that he used along the way.
How did LLMs not immediately shut down for “biosensitive” prompt or whatever bs they build into them nowadays?
Guy says he created a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease. Huge difference.
What does the guy's basement have to do with it? We live in the internet age, we can do anything anywhere. Was there not any other more relevant information to fluff up the headline? By the way, why are we still using twitter?
