I am in computational chemistry which has some crossover with Materials Science. AI is useful for speeding up simulations, doing molecular interaction predictions, doing property predictions, doing molecular docking. LLMs are helpful as research assistants and helping design and run experiments. https://atomictessellator.com/ For example, my latest module (I am putting the finishing touches on this as we speak) uses…
Kind of mind blowing. A light in the tunnel for the reproduction crisis? What specifically have you trained your coding LLM on? Is it lora or something more advanced? Have you created a corpus by hand specifically for training?
This space is moving so quick I run many experiments every day.
I would love to work on this full time, I applied to y-combinator but I didn't get in :(
Something I've noticed going through founder's LinkedIn pages is that it seems that entrepreneurs seem to be significantly more attractive than the average person. I assume a partial causative factor could be that the number of positive impressions you make on people with influence correlates with success of your startup, and one's capacity to make positive interpersonal impressions correlates with physical attractiv…
This is probably why no one in a lot of sectors outside those that already provide white-label customer service are seriously considering implementing these things. There is no barrier to doing so from a financial or technical perspective, in fact there's every incentive to try it. Businesses like the one I'm in are just waiting to see how exactly the first movers will be dismembered.

But as that paper lays out there's a really simple and logical explanation for it as well. Intelligence is highly heritable, attractiveness is highly heritable. Intelligent people are more likely to succeed making them more able to seek out other attractive/intelligent individuals, thus resulting in more attractive/intelligent offspring.

Are there any examples if successful exits or AI companies making it into the black yet? In general, not just YC

Contrary to Hollywood stereotypes, attractiveness and IQ are extremely strongly correlated. You can find a million studies affirming this with a search - it's not controversial, though the reason for it is. For the lazy here's a random study.

> One-standard-deviation increase in childhood general intelligence (15 IQ points) decreases women's odds of parenthood by 21-25%. Because women have a greater impact on the average intelligence of future generations, the dysgenic fertility among women is predicted to lead to a decline in the average intelligence of the population in advanced industrial nations.

I think I once had to pick a medical doctor from just names and photographs. Probably my choice was different from what I'd have chosen if I'd been picking a partner in a tennis competition, though they'd be a strong positive correlation, I expect, between those two things. On the other hand, if I'd been picking a bouncer for a one-off event at a nightclub, they'd be less correlation, probably.
