⚡🚨 NEW - David Kipping says something fundamental has shifted in science.
At a closed meeting at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), top physicists agreed AI can now do up to “90%” of their work and may soon push discovery beyond human understanding.
“I don’t know that I want to live in a world where everything around me is just magic.”
He says the best scientific minds on Earth are now holding emergency meetings about what comes next. This isn’t speculative anymore. It’s really happening.

But that last %10 is where the magic happens..
They'll eventually get over it. Obviously the elite researchers aren't really that elite and smart researchers aren't really that smart if they feel threatened. And 90% of stuff researchers did was obviously bullshit and not real research. The 10% is the added value they should be paid for.
Especially in his field. It's all big data sets. only on the margins do you see the need for critical thinking. Of all the sciences astronomy probably the most affected by aI.
