Prevention of Alzheimer’s.
locating the cause vs solving the issue is very different. I am skeptical of this claim

s “finish the job”
An interesting thing to think about is if there is a vaccine for everything, then what will people who resort to biological weapons do. I assume if there are people who choose to continue to make biological weapons, we could come across things that vaccines cannot fix
-
it is possible that AI-enabled biological science will reduce the need for iteration in clinical trials by developing better animal and cell experimental models (or even simulations) that are more accurate in predicting what will happen in humans
I think this might be his radical thinking, since being able to improve upon the experimentation models is not certain at all.

CRISPR was a naturally occurring component of the immune system in bacteria that’s been known since the 80’s, but it took another 25 years for people to realize it could be repurposed for general gene editing
I think this greatly highlights his point, if things that are discovered a lot earlier are analyzed thoroughly for insights, then we can develop these technologies much more faster.

For example, even incredibly powerful AI could predict only marginally further ahead in a chaotic system (such as the three-body problem) in the general case,99 In a chaotic system, small errors compound exponentially over time, so that even an enormous increase in computing power leads to only a small improvement in how far ahead it is possible to predict, and in practice measurement error may degrade this further. as compared to today’s humans and computers.
I wonder if he is making this claim because he believes there aren't solvable solutions to these problems or because the method of increasing intelligence doesn't allow for the solution to these problems

It does not have a physical embodiment (other than living on a computer screen), but it can control existing physical tools, robots, or laboratory equipment through a computer;
Its interesting how despite the progress towards robots currently, he doesn't define a strong AI as needing physical componenets
