Should a $1B Biotech Bet Go to Experiments or to Accelerating AI?
A debate asks whether a $1B experimental biotech project should be funded directly or whether the money should go toward accelerating AI. Commenters suggest a hybrid approach—using AI tools on suitable project parts and turning benchmarks into RL environments—noting that accelerating specific AI applications is feasible, as with mathematicians collaborating with OpenAI.
