In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“I, I think those are like not exactly verifiable, but there's like certain ways you can sort of run simul-- like you can use an LLM to output predictions.”
“Then you can do like computational like, like methods to like simulate the molecular dynamics and get like kind of feedback loops.”
“I mean, like I think like material science is like maybe another area where like you have a little bit of that loop where you can sort of, you know, synthetically manufacture certain materials and measure the properties, and you just kind of put an agent in the loop and like, you know, do things.”1:24:40Report a misattribution
