sokrypton: solving biology needs subatomic simulators or massive wet labs for AI
sokrypton · x · 2026-11-12
Responding to gklambauer, sokrypton argues that to 'solve biology' we either need to simulate life at the subatomic level (perhaps via quantum computers) and give AI access, or build massive wet-lab centers AI can query per prompt. He draws an analogy to math: AI hasn't solved math—parallel agents iterating against Lean until correct is what works, and biology may need the same setup.
