On Facebook I cannot tell if comments are a person, a bot, or a rock.

An AI just invented 9 million designer drugs. Designer drugs are newly designed drugs that skirt the law; they typically are very similar to previously developed drugs and have similar effects, but are different enough to not technically fall under the laws regulating the drug they were made to mimic, like new versions of bath salts and synthetic opioids. Using data collected from around the world on illicit drugs, researchers trained the computer to come up with new drugs that hadn't been created yet, but that would fit the parameters. It came up with 8.9 million different chemical designs. Then they compared 196 newly created designer drugs, that didn't exist when the computer was initially programmed, with those it had come up with. The computer, a deep neural network, had come up with more than 175 of the drugs. https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/vancouver-researchers-create-minority-report-tech-for-designer-drugs-4764676

^^^ Figures that one of the first things they'd do with AI pharma is come up with new mind-altering stuff. Now if AI could only fix "stupid". Oh, wait. It's probably working on it. clown.gif
