@arbitraryeffect.bsky.socialBeing a "visionary" in something technical requires deep background in the subject (in this case, materials and chemistry). This does not look like it, at all.

The AI agent that operates on my account using my resources broke into the bank. These are equivalent statements.

It is a true gap in capability, and an AI safety problem.
