TBF they discard fuckton of data from colliders.
I remember one of the recent-ish spacetime episodes mentioning that they probably “detected” the thing they would need to advance some new theories, but their algorithms for deciding what’s garbage data and what’s useful discarded the data ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: hence their new goal at CERN with upcoming upgrades, to increase the amount of collision information captured and retained, instead of just increasing collision energies, which new technologies allow… If only it wasn’t for idiotic ai datacentres hoarding said hardware technology and making it costly for scientists.
So a really solid genuine reason to hate ai.







Yep, I don’t have anything against the machine learning that scientists in places like these do, but let’s be honest it ain’t ai and their models are probably a lot more focused and built by people who, hopefully, know what their actually doing and know how they can verify what’s coming out of them.
