There is a scene I like in an OppenHeimer movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0pCclxx5nI (Edit: It's not a deleted scene from Nolan's OppenHeimer) .

Their is also an other scene in Nolan's OppenHeimer (who made the cut around timestamp 27:45) where physicists get all excited when a paper is published where Hahn and Strassmann split uranium with neutrons. Alvarez the experimentalist replicate it happily, while being oblivious to the fact that seems obvious to every theoretical physicist : It can be used to create a chain reaction and therefore a bomb.

So here is my question : how do you contain the sparks of employees ? Let's say Alvarez comes all excited in your open-space, and speak a few words "new algorithm", "1000X", what do you do ?

This is called a “compute multiplier” and, yes, we have a protocol for that. All AI labs do, as far as I am aware; standard industry practice.

+1 request for more information on this. Is there a search term for arxiv? Your comment here in this thread is the top google result for "compute multiplier".

Glad there is a protocol, can you be more explicit (since it exist and seems to be standard) ?
