I hate that both this kind of machine learning applied to scientific research and consumer focused LLMs are both called "AI", that neither is "intelligent" and that consumers don't know the difference.
It's good to see that at least one tech company is interested in using machine learning for scientific research. You know, research that plausibly benefits humanity rather than providing a tool for students to cheat with.

Several colleagues of mine have had to switch out of scientific machine learning as a discipline because the funding just isn't there anymore. All the money is in generic LLM research and generating pictures slightly better.

The headline is borderline offensive in what it wink-wink suggests. The content is just about normal boring stuff engineers deal with --vibration damping.
