Ah so it looks like “independent ai discoveries” in research might be the new “no cgi/special effects” in films, like just acknowledge all the people who worked day and night to make the end result, it doesn’t detract from the final result if it was a group effort.

I’m thinking OP clearly didn’t read/understand the article or it’s deliberately sensationalising the paper, yet weirdly simultaneously denigrating it as basic science.

Gotta fuel the hype train. Hard to pretend ai is perpetually 5 months from global dominion (so give us all your money now now now) if you don't do shit like this.
