Can we run larger simulations? (DESI volumes)
At high resolution?
Faster?
All this works depends on simulations, but...
Thousands of them?

Me: I can't wait to work with observations
Me working with observations:
Conclusions
1. There is a lot of information in galaxy surveys that ML methods can access
2. We can tackle high dimensional inference problems so far unatainable
3. Our ability to simulate will limit the amount of information we can extract
Hybrid simulators, forward models, robustness
Unsupervised problems: parity violation
Dark matter density reconstruction, Initial Conditions, let's get creative!
