No Free Lunches: Why Physics Still Matters in an AI-Driven Drug Discovery World

AI is everywhere in drug discovery — platform companies promise it can replace a considerable share of the discovery process, and established discovery companies promise more molecules, faster. Much of this is genuinely intriguing, and some of it will win. But every AI approach is fundamentally bounded by the training data it learns from, and that boundary quietly limits scope in ways that are easy to overlook in the current enthusiasm. Physics-based methods have never promised something for nothing — but they remain essential for filling exactly the gaps that data-driven approaches cannot see. 👉 **Join NYAGIM for our 2026 Q3 event** to connect with the local computational chemistry and informatics community. **David Pearlman Biography** David Pearlman is a computational chemist with over forty years of experience in academic research, drug discovery, and software development. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley, completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Peter Kollman's lab at UCSF, and became a founding employee at Biosym Technologies, where he led development of the first commercialized structure-based drug design platform. He later worked at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and built and led the BioLuminate biologics software platform at Schrödinger, Inc. Dr. Pearlman was also a first author and principal developer of the widely used AMBER program, publishing extensively on free energy perturbation, ligand scoring, and protein modeling. He writes about drug discovery and computation at [ahalflife.substack.com](http://ahalflife.substack.com/), and is currently Vice President of Product at QSimulate, advancing GPU-accelerated QM/MM integration into production-scale drug discovery workflows.

Superplane & Elastic: AI Agents That Build & Ship Code

Software factories are here. AI agents write code, open PRs, run tests, deploy to production, and respond to incidents - all without waiting for a human to click a button. Join SuperPlane and Elastic for an evening where engineering leaders, platform teams, and SREs explore what it actually takes to run a software factory: how agents ship code, how Elastic monitors what happens in production, and how SuperPlane orchestrates the full loop from commit → deploy to incident to fix. SuperPlane is the agent orchestrator that turns your tools into a software factory. Elastic is the observability engine that tells you what's happening inside it. This is an unconference, you bring the topics, we bring the structure (and drinks). Come with opinions about how far you'd let agents go. 📅 **Date:** Thursday, September 17th from 6:00-9:00 PM 📍 **Location:** Elastic NYC Office 1250 Broadway, Floor 16, Training Room New York, NY 10001 **Some topics we would discuss:** * How much autonomy should agents have in production? * Building the feedback loop: deploy → observe → respond → learn * Agents that fix what agents broke - is that a loop or a spiral? * What does "human in the loop" actually mean when agents ship 10x faster? * Observability as the control plane for your software factory * From Kibana alert to automated rollback - what's your threshold? * The trust problem: when do you stop reviewing agent PRs? **Format:** * Topics proposed by attendees at the beginning * Sessions run in small groups (\~5-7 people) * 30 minutes of facilitated discussion per session * Open participation and movement between sessions encouraged 📝 **Schedule:** * 6:00 – 6:30 PM → Arrival, food & drinks, networking * 6:30 – 6:50 PM → Welcome + software factories w/ Elastic & Superplane * 6:50 – 7:00 PM → Topic proposals & voting * 7:00 – 7:30 PM → Session 1 * 7:30 – 7:40 PM → Short break * 7:40 – 8:10 PM → Session 2 * 8:10 – 8:20 PM → Short break * 8:20 – 8:50 PM → Session 3 * 8:50 – 9:00 PM → Wrap-up & key takeaways * 9:00 PM → Closing **🎟️ Coming up: ElasticON NYC** Join us October 8 for a free day of hands-on learning, expert insights, and real-world AI, search, observability, and security sessions. **[Register for free](https://www.elastic.co/events/elasticon/new-york-city?utm_source=luma&utm_medium=event_page&utm_campaign=elasticon_nyc_2026&utm_content=superplane_meetup_sep17)**[.](https://www.elastic.co/events/elasticon/new-york-city?utm_source=luma&utm_medium=event_page&utm_campaign=elasticon_nyc_2026&utm_content=superplane_meetup_sep17) **About SuperPlane** **[SuperPlane](http://spweb)** Software Factory platform that transforms software delivery from a collection of manual tasks into an orchestrated, AI-powered production system. It coordinates AI agents, developers, infrastructure, and operational tools to build, test, deploy, and maintain software with speed, consistency, and governance. **About Elastic** **[Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/?utm_source=luma)** is the observability stack behind high-velocity engineering teams. With Elasticsearch, Kibana, and the rest of Elastic Stack, engineers, SREs and platform engineers get real-time visibility into logs, metrics, traces, and security events correlated in one place, not scattered across tools. As release cadence increases with the adoption of software factories, Elastic keeps you in control of what's running and why.
