alt Hacker NewsAI integrated into a loop with wet labs, like how Anthropic is trying to do (not novel, as other companies trying this too, likely Jeff Dean’s new startup too), does seem very promising.

I sincerely hope it's not what it sounds like. It's much too soon for a repeat of the Covid scenario turbocharged by AI.
I can easily imagine the conversation with the agent. "You're absolutely right! That was my mistake. The experiment I set up caused a global pandemic killing millions."

Promising if you're a fan of disaster movies and always wanted to experience one firsthand.
I am using AI (claude) in wet lab right now. It is great, speeds everything up. But you have to need and want to apply it.
