Anthropic sets up biology lab as it ramps AI drug program
reuters.comWhat could go wrong?
"The startup wants to push how its Claude AI can direct robotic units to carry out science experiments with limited human intervention..."
Why? Why??? Isn't this one area you'd want extreme human intervention? I'm not against trying out new research tools. I just wonder why you'd want to allow the tools to work autonomously?
> Why? Why???
To find cures for diseases faster, find new ways to produce useful chemicals, find ways to make crops resilient against changing climate, etc

No? There are an essentially infinite number of potentially useful experiments that could be run that have no risk or downside. It's not like they're doing this in a BSL-4 lab mutating smallpox.
So that you can get rid of all the expensive human lab techs
Crazy to get confirmation that the “we’re so scared” rhetoric was 100% bullshit in less than a weeks’ time.
