The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 5 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Liu: Protein structure prediction is essentially solved for many common proteins
“In the past, like, four or five years, this problem of protein structure prediction went from, you know, something that was, you know, quite far away from being solved, to now you could argue that, It's pretty much been solved for a lot of, like, common kind o…”
Liu: Generative AI in science makes validation much harder than idea generation
“In science, you know, it's actually the inverse. Like, it's actually, it's probably easier to generate ideas, but way harder to validate.”
Bowen Liu calls labeled data scarcity the core bottleneck in scientific AI
“Yeah, I think you touched on, like, probably the core problem of, like, you know, ML applied to science. While we have a lot of, like, unlabeled data, like, there's just not that much label data out there. And a lot of it is because, like, it's very experiment…”
Bowen Liu: Small Molecules Currently Lack Self-Supervised Learning Frameworks
“Because like with protein sequences and biological sequences, like you can actually do self-supervised learning, right? Because there is this like complicated generative process with like evolutionary pressure that you can learn from. There's no equivalent for…”
