Science just became an asymmetric warfare game. And humans brought calculators to a GPU cluster fight.

While everyone obsesses over ChatGPT writing marketing copy, autonomous AI research agents are already designing molecules that don’t exist in nature, discovering catalyst combinations human chemists would never consider, and compressing decades of materials science into weekend compute cycles.

This isn’t incremental improvement.

This is category extinct…
