It seems like these "discoveries" are mostly "We provided a dataset and Kosmos found the same conclusion as the scientist." This is an advancement but those datasets are not random in any sense. They were created to support a specific hypothesis which lead to the shared conclusion of the scientists and Kosmos. Discovery 7 seems to be of a different flavor in that a novel conclusion was arrived at from existing data.

I really think this is not "Autonomous Discovery". There is so much thought and science behind deriving the hypothesis and determining what experiments to do that is not captured in what Kosmos demonstrated here. It is exciting to see the reasoning capabilities and look forward to next steps but at this point a bit oversold in my opinion.

Includes 4 novel discoveries:

Curious to see where these go. The world model, and other enhancements seem helpful but effectively become hard coded rules. We know that human specified rules generally underperform learned relationships (at least in previous ML work) so I wonder if we’ll get to a regime like I think we were in older AI booms where we bump up against the limitations of rules again.

How much slop will it discover?

this is a joke... to even call this a scientist is an insult.
