(…) Aardvark has been developed by researchers from the University of Cambridge (UK) (…)

So it is safe from USA’s collapse in science.

(…) This fully AI driven approach means that predictions are now achievable in minutes on a desktop computer. (…)

a.i. is now so far from “autocomplete”

PARTS of AI have been far from auto-corrupt for years. This autocomplete and LLM stuff is far newer.

Specialized A.I. (like Alphafold from Deepmind) is amazing. I mostly just think consumer-level generative A.I. that tries to do everything will probably suck for awhile.

Which I guess is basically like human intelligence if that’s how you’re measuring it. I can go to any bar and find someone confidently wrong 60% of the time. And you can win a Nobel Prize and not really know how to invest the award money competently.
