💯 Accelerating scientific research and access to the best tools are what got us here.

Not sure why some think that they can change our minds about that. They have no evidence of it and expect us to believe in that through pure brute force.

Open science and AI must win!

@drfeifei @drfeifei subtly throwing shade at @AnthropicAI was not on my bingo card for today

@drfeifei For sure, research can be done with lower models too but to get the results fast, and to do great research we need frontier models which we already have in our timeline and they should not be gatekept in the name of security measure.

@drfeifei We still need some constraints to technology, that’s humanity, rights, law. Uncontrolled technology advancing could cause disaster.

@drfeifei Imagine if modern cryptography had been built on restricted access.

"Trust us, it's secure. A select group of approved researchers can inspect it...but broad public scrutiny would be too dangerous."

Would that have made the internet safer?

Tool access is half of it. We can already map which immune agents to combine and in what order, since something like STAT3 behaves differently once IL-6 and TGF-beta rise. What we can't do is use them together. The system approves one drug at a time while the biology needs many. The best tools have to come with the freedom to use them at once.

@drfeifei This feels obvious. If scientists are trying to cure diseases and solve real problems, give them the best tools we have. Don’t make them beg for the good version.

@drfeifei Well said.

Just as microscopes revolutionized biology and computers transformed data analysis, AI is poised to become a foundational tool for modern scientific discovery.

The key is ensuring equitable and responsible access so innovation benefits everyone.

@drfeifei @ProfBuehlerMIT 💯%

@drfeifei It is also important to have access to a network and resources. Which is difficult when you have no academic affiliation.

@drfeifei The exciting part isn't AI replacing scientists. It's AI helping scientists spend less time searching for answers and more time discovering them.

@drfeifei Someone should start a Public Benefit Corp that helps in this area.

@drfeifei 100 percent agreed, and look what Anthropic did.

@drfeifei yup! you are truly great.

@drfeifei We can understand where this tweet really directed

I completely support you on this cause

@drfeifei Thank you for saying so.

@drfeifei Li is a leading voice in AI (known for ImageNet and contributions to computer vision/spatial intelligence). The post advocates for equipping scientists with cutting-edge AI tools to accelerate discovery.

@drfeifei How dare you? How can you comment our Lord Dario and his great AI Safetism? My lord will send his inquisition forces to make sure you are safetism compliant.

@drfeifei "Scientists"? What if a mathematician or philosopher or financial analyst wants to do some variant of scientific research? What if it even ends up with useful results somehow? How might they go about getting permission to do so and pivot to being an official and real Scientist?

@drfeifei AI often appears abstract or inaccessible, but by recognizing the role it already plays in our everyday lives, these systems and ideas become more evident and relevant.
