The speaker thinks researchers have mostly not seriously tried building scaffolding that enables AI models to discover scientific connections.

“making grand claims about how the whole paradigm is doomed because they'll never overcome this limitation and then like a year or two later uh the new llms overcome that limitation um and i would say that like with respect to this thing of like why haven't they made these interesting scientific discoveries by combining the knowledge they already have and like noticing interesting connections i would say first of all you”

“have we seriously tried to build scaffolding to make them do this and i think the answer is mostly no”
