    This might be pedantic, but the lab-brain didn’t solve anything. It just acts as the controller in a solution created by a scientist.

    It is the one who created this “controller” who solved the problem.

      Not pedantic at all, you’re just stating accurately what the article stated inaccurately.

    I’m okay with this new AI 2.0. It’s called humans.

    You can copy them for free, the cost rent. Generate income. Productivity 2.0…
