I was also intrigued by this. It's exciting to think of all the places where ML techniques have a chance of instantly detecting useful order in chaos.

AI solves nuclear fusion puzzle for near-limitless clean energy

This is awesome and expect AI to do a lot more of this kind of thing for us - see patterns in non-human quantities of data. Practically all domains can benefit from this. One [wtf happened in 1971](https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/) theory is that we solved all human scale problems. (1971 is likely a gold standard thing but perhaps going off the gold standard was driven by running out of human scale problems to solve.)
