Why Anton isn't one of the biggest youtubers by now is one of those universe mysteries.

Really cool use of archival data. What I love here is that Hubble is basically a time machine, so AI can spot rare lensing and detector artifacts that humans might miss across huge datasets. Nerdy note: gravitational lensing can turn a single background galaxy into arcs and even near perfect rings when the alignment is just right.

This is one of the only good ways to use AI so it can help humans finish tasks faster.

Hey world? THIS is a PROPER usage of AI! Sifting through large datasets to dig out the gems or glean something we overlooked it flat out saw but mistook or ignored! These are the uses to champion AI for, and rapid iterative design of stuff to come up with something we either couldn't or would take us far too long _(like some of the rocket engines being fielded, or drug treatments, etc)._ Though Neuro-sama is acceptable, as she's _mostly_ ethically trained 😊 _(a VTuber chatbot which, along with her named-in-jest clone Evil Neuro, is hilarious and will roast her human friends 6-ways til Sunday)_

See, this is what A.I. is meant for, finding the guys in space that'll bring us world destruction instead of being the world destruction

This is the proper use of LLMs. LLMs are not supposed to be a replacement for humans, they are supposed to be a tool that a human uses to streamline complex/laborious tasks.

This is indeed a good observation. I remember reading a paper by Balungi Francis on the analysis of a Black hole image. They found out that the image had an anomaly due to the magnetic fields created by BHs. These magnetic fields were never observed.

*FINALLY* , this is exactly what I had hoped AI would be used for - analyzing billions of observational data at a rate a human never could to advance science! More of *this* , please! Unfortunately it's probably more profitable to destroy art & entertainment and swindle boomers, so I expect companies will continue to push their awful generative ai, which is so sad knowing how much good the technology could be doing instead of harm.

These things are what AI should be used for. Sorting through lots of data or repetitive tasks
