This post relates to the future of scientific research and data analysis. It shows how advances in AI may change how discoveries are made, not by relying only on new missions, but by reprocessing large volumes of existing data from past projects. As datasets continue to grow faster than human analysis can keep up, similar approaches could become common across astronomy, climate science, and other fields, potentially accelerating discovery while reducing the need for costly new instruments.
We’ve allowed the marketing dudes to fuck us. AI in this case isn’t AI like how it’s used in common terms though it’s still not AI. This appears to be a Machine Learning system with scientific rigors. The headline blurs GenAI and ML and other technology and now people will think ChatGPT can analyze this shit in a meaningful way.
That aside, this is so fucking cool. We discovered 1.5 million stars we never knew we had. If these are genuinely there that’s hundreds of thousands of systems to ponder and study.
Nowadays any use of any algorithm is immediately equals use of Ai. Tomorrow any use of computer will equals use of Ai. Day after that any own human thot will be not even remotely possible without any use of Ai.
I vote for reboot!
Nice! We were running out of stars to study anyway, this came in clutch!!!
