Very cool! However, the amazing absence of results makes me question whether they've got a Nature letter forthcoming or whether they know that another AI lab has a similar finding...

Oh good let's give the ai a wetlab im sure nothing bad will come of this

From the article:

All of the lab work is performed by human scientists.

That doesn't mean the humans aren't meat puppets.

Not that I agree with the comment you're replying to - but I find this response funny, when just today there was a link on the front page about the US military bombing a school because of AI output

That you clearly only read the headline of

In a year or two, articles like this will either be artifacts from peak hype or evidence of the beginning of the singularity. Right?

5m agoHN ↗

That's black and white thinking; it will be a midgularity - so neither.

4m agoHN ↗

The singularity, as defined by Hinton (and others) is RSI (Recursive Self Improvement) - actually started already (or "it is beginning to start"), as OpenAI has announced an AI acting as "Research Intern" (!).

This is great, but I can't help but wonder if we're going to have another post next week with a lab complaining that they were about to publish this same finding, and they had Claude proofread their paper, and whoops how'd that get into Anthropic's training data?
