Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Ruxandra Teslo and Jacob Trefethen said
AI and science Models used to do science rather than to write: rediscovering laws from data, compressing decades of biology, refereeing a proof.
Mental modelBottlenecks
Their wordsI told him what I believe: that in the age of AI, medicine will be bottlenecked more than ever by regulation and the grind of clinical trials, and that billions poured into faster pre-clinical research won’t touch that problem, unsexy as it is.

Their wordsThose are why I do not believe that AI could end disease within 10 years on its own, nor that 50-100 years of medical progress could occur 5-10 years after powerful AI due to AI progress alone

Do you hold this korrent?Do you also believe this?
I hold this tooCannot both be true
Amodei says powerful AI compresses fifty to a hundred years of biological and medical progress into five to ten. Teslo and Trefethen hold jointly that it will not, because the binding constraint is not the part a model does. Both sides are talking about the same decade and the same technology, and one of them is counting the steps a model cannot take.
Shared subject first, then similar wording. They may agree or disagree.
