sokrypton: AI got usable at coding via terminal iteration — wet labs could do the same for biology

sokrypton argues the latest AI models are still terrible at coding; what made them usable is terminal access to iterate on bad code until it works. For biology, the equivalent would be giving AI access to a wet lab to iterate on its hypotheses.
