Do you all realize what is happening? Science is becoming privatized. Theoretical science is increasingly becoming compute-driven, and similarly, experimental science will increasingly become robotics-driven. Both increase the role of capital and reduce the role of talent. Ergo, fewer and fewer humans are going to be needed to do frontier science. And when fewer humans are needed, global collaboration becomes less critical. The days of science as a public, academic good - with papers being transparently published on Arxiv and open journals might be coming to an end. Now, in a globally open economy, this might have been alright, but fundamentally, this puts every country except US and China in a difficult spot. This includes India, UK, Japan, Korea etc. Geopolitical turmoil makes it even more obvious. Notice how every single scientist that OpenAI is collaborating with for reviewing their latest AI-led science, is based in the US. Will it be wise for Indian nuclear physicists to use ChatGPT models for their scientific analysis? All secrets are lost when you use cloud-based LLMs. Some are starting to recognize this. (See @UKSovereignAI). I think we will see similar response from almost all of the top 10 countries. Science, after all, is power.
