Coverage highlighted that while Anthropic compared the system to CRISPR, some CRISPR-field scientists said such repeat sequences are common and undercatalogued, and that nothing indicates the discovery is a rival to CRISPR-the-technology or has practical application.

Thats a facinating step in AI usage into different aspects. Just curious How will this process guarding against the failure mode where agents say " this is unusual " , and the judgement is itself biased towards known family . Its easy to flag something as intresting when it partialyl resembles an already kown system (CRISPR- like repeats , in this…

Considering what happened on the Navier–Stokes event of OpenAI recently, I keep wondering how much of these discoveries are actuallya.) novel isolated achievements of an AI, orb.) the result of continuous focused in-house training with data involuntarily contributed by thousands of researchers using the LLM, aiming to make a press-release to boost…

> For now, this is mostly a story about how AI can be used to parse existing data to discover new biology (which is fantastic!).I'd like to expand that: in my view, this is also a story of how agentic AI systems can come up with bioinformatics strategies to discover novel features. One would think such a task would be the ideal domain of the…

Despite the article looks like it talks about Claude, in reality it describes a new type of a job - a synthesis of data science, research, comp science, plus industry specific knowledge. Another extremely important thing is to have access to all related research in some programmatic way, this is for exploration, I do not think many have such…

Whatever happened to no bio research? It's absurd that these companies are even remotely allowed to work in this domain without profuse oversight and independent monitoring.Also, does Claude produce the references and original authors of the knowledge and research that provided for this "discovery" so they can get credited? I didn't think so.
