Robot science
Scientists at Aberystwyth University in the UK report that a robot scientist they designed has successfully formulated its own hypothesis (about gene function) and tested it. This is very exciting news. We are now automating science. Truly incredible. And it should free up people to either consider applications of knowledge, the ethics of social organization, or pursue even higher science. Of course, it will probably be purchased and patented by big pharma to crank out drugs.
if the drugs work, nothing wrong with it IMHO.
Better than the automatic philosopher I read about the other day. a museum installation, obviously…
