AI systems interfacing with real-world experiments can create proprietary data flywheels; this work will progress much more slowly than chalkboard-based theoretical science but dramatically faster than it did before.

“I think there are a lot of places where you can have an AI interfacing with a real experiment where you can set up proprietary data flywheels and it's going to be a bit slower,”

“well, much slower than the chalkboard stuff,”

“but dramatically faster than what it was before.”
