I absolutely believe that AI will supercharge science and replace humans.

Why shouldn't it? Humans are poorly optimized for almost anything, and built on a substrate that's barely hanging together

Well, for starters AI doesn't have goals. If there was a super intelligence with goals, why would they work for us?

Not like large language models, which only required tens of megawatts of power and use highly efficient monte carlo methods, eh
