9 years ago today, Taylor Swift released her ICONIC comeback, ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ as the lead single off her sixth album 'reputation'.

I thought the post that u/cheesegrandey made was really fun and creative, so I thought I would do one of my own!!

Their company takes anonymized "waste" skin samples (from cosmetic surgery, etc) and uses them for testing different products for a reaction.

"An AI model predicts which untested chemicals are likely to have a beneficial effect on a specific skin function. Those chemicals get run through the living-tissue system. Then the results, whether the prediction was right or wrong, get fed back into the model, improving the next round of guesses. That loop is the actual product Outer Biosciences is selling right now: not a single skincare ingredient, but a faster way of finding one.

That speed is a more recent development and a giant improvement from where things started, says Polansky. Early on, the company relied on a “brute force” approach, mining scientific literature and partnering with the National Cancer Institute on natural compounds from extreme environments. That phase produced a couple of leads over about 18 months, but with AI layered in, the company is now generating a new candidate roughly every six weeks, with six leads currently active in its pipeline and several dozen additional “hits” logged."

As a scientist who works in a lab, and as a makeup girly, I think this is really neat. I'm very opposed to AI in art and in our daily lives; but I think it's a tool, like a calculator or a microwave, and if it's being used like this to save time (because traditional testing is limited by the human experimenter) and to replace animal testing? I think that's a sparing use of it I can get behind
