        i mean they still can give nobel prize in literature to chatgpt for extruding most text in unit of time

        this is not my field, but allegedly alphafold kinda works, but it’s also not ai and more pattern matching, something that google does expertly. i still don’t think that it’s gonna be very useful even that it does solve a hard problem

      half goes to david baker, you might remember him from rosetta@home thing. the other two people are from google deepmind

      i guess it’s one of these years when chemistry nobel goes to biologists, but now with layer of ai hype on top for some weird fucking reason
