No, I think I he’s saying that we have that, and we should use it more.

AlphaGo uses discovery when it evaluates potential moves and iterates.

Claude Code uses discovery when it generates a script and the evaluates whether it works or not.

He’s saying we need to allow ai systems to do the evaluation and iteration themselves for science and engineering the same way we do for code.

Basically, harness engineering for engineering.
