This is strong research packaging. Bu still hypothesis generation. What experiment would most directly hypothesis generation, and how much the agents add beyond the search?

Sounds interesting. Excited to see physical versions of this cooked up. Also, very excited for a world a few years from now where we can talk about accomplishments like this from the frame of the driver of the AI, rather than hype that AI helped.

I really wish headlines would stop using words like "discover" and "found" when they really should use words like "says" and "reported" because an LLM was involved. IMHO anything produced by an LLM should be treated like something said by a cable news host.

This reads like neither the prompter or the AI know enough about magnetism to claim they found a new candidate for a magnetic semi.

Miss leading title; “Opus 5.5 CLAIMED to have discovered two room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates”

"candidate" is doing a lot of work here.

I've got a friend who has been doing this research since the 90s. There is real money involved in this. This isn't like a math proof with a 1mm dollar payout. I seriously doubt this discovery. Until they show it working, I call bullshit. A room-temperature semiconductor is worth WAY more than an AI company.

If they are confident in their discovery they should pay some scientists to start making this and testing it out.

"In the spirit of transparency I invite you to ask your own LLM to verify what my LLM did"

The operative word is candidates.
