AI-cures thesis hinges on robotics and autonomous labs generating data first

shaemcl responds that most reasonable AI people agree data must be generated first, so the disease-curing thesis depends on solving robotics first and massively scaling up autonomous labs to produce data at a scale humans can't. He agrees the timelines are wrong and physics may cap radical lifespan extension, but argues the argument deserves a stronger steelman.
