  • “It’s almost certain” that AI will reach that level eventually, one researcher told Nature.

    Semafor doing so much work trying the launder this into a story. “One scientist” in the original article, to multiple scientists in their headline.

    This is the first of three waves of AI in science, says Sam Rodriques, chief executive of FutureHouse — a research lab in San Francisco, California, that debuted an LLM designed to do chemistry tasks earlier this year.

    And the one “scientist” seems to have switched tracks from doing actual research to doing capitalism.














  • The Yale researchers’ nothingburger result has precedent. In 2023, a study by the United Nations International Labour Organization (ILO) concluded that generative AI would probably not replace most workers.

    A study of Danish workers published in April determined that generative AI had no material impact on wages or jobs. Another such study published in February found “overall employment effects are modest, as reduced demand in exposed occupations is offset by productivity-driven increases in labor demand at AI-adopting firms.”

    There is some contradictory data.

    No shit.
