| He didn't do us any favors by writing that slide in a convoluted and inaccurate way. If AI found a way to exploit clinical trial design, it would be noticed and the errors corrected. In fact, that would be a major win because it would probably lead to improved clinical trial designs. |

I suppose if we closed all the loops and the entire end-to-end process was completely automated, it wouldn't be surprising if we failed to notice. |

| It's an ignorant way to make a point that might or might not be valid. Tao evidently isn't aware that many medications we've relied on for decades still have a poorly-understood mechanism of action. If we followed the precautionary principle and waited until we understood everything there is to know about every drug on the shelf, a lot of people now living would be dead. |
