The AI Scientist That Does 6 Months of Work in a Day
The AI Daily Brief: Artificial Intelligence News and Analysis
Intro
Nathaniel opens the episode, shares housekeeping, sponsors, and teases the day's headlines and main topic.
An emerging “AI scientist” called Kosmos is claiming the ability to do six months of research in a single day—reading 1,500 papers, writing tens of thousands of lines of code, and producing validated discoveries across neuroscience, genetics, material science, and Alzheimer’s research. This episode breaks down what Kosmos actually is, how it works, why Sam Altman is paying attention, and what it signals about the coming era of AI-accelerated science. Plus: the latest Gemini 3 hype cycle, Berkshire’s new AI-driven bet on Google, and why Michael Burry just shut down his fund.
