@OfficialLoganK @ymatias The AI co-scientist vision for rapid experiments and hypothesis testing is a huge leap for science. Love the emphasis on human creativity staying central.

@OfficialLoganK @ymatias Golden age of research, sure. The thing that'll actually change daily life is agents grinding through tasks too dull for people to bother with. We have one re-checking hotel prices after you book. Unsexy but saves real money. That's the cycle nobody films

@OfficialLoganK @ymatias You make 'science' your God and pray at the altar of 'progress' and think that makes you 'better' Just makes you blind

@OfficialLoganK @ymatias This is the Google AI story I wish more people talked about.

Models are useful in daily work for sure, but science is where the compounding can be huge by asking better questions, providing faster review, quicker experiments and real-world outcomes with impacts on all layers.
