Re: Guy in his basement creates a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease using AI
#32Any 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

#33I studied some chemistry. The photo of the lab is interesting. It looks real (not AI generated). It has a few vertical condensers and separatory funnel. The vertical connections make sense, but the whole setup makes no sense, like a display of cool equipment. My question is: Why one of the condensers is green?!?!

Is there a photo of the robot? The photo only shows 1990 equipment.
