AI tools like AlphaFold have transformed the landscape of protein design in less than a decade. Meanwhile, organic chemists are still waiting for their own “AlphaFold moment” for predicting reaction recipes and routes for small-molecule synthesis. cen.acs.org/synthesis/ca... #chemsky 🧪

Will AlphaFold et al. figure out how the genome works? Doubtful, says @philipcball.bsky.social. I think he's absolutely right. The genome is a complex adaptive system, w/ many layers of regulation and buffering—a "sensitive organ of the cell," said Barbara McClintock—in 1983!

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

A tough week for Google’s AI efforts. Along with losing the co-lead of Gemini to OpenAI, they are also losing the Nobel Prize winning lead of the AlphaFold project at DeepMind to Anthropic. He won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024 for using AI to predict 3D protein structures.
I’m not anti-tech or investment in tech. I’m excited about solar and AlphaFold and ocean monitoring. I love science; and I know the less flashy sides of science are suffering too. I just don’t want to see the humanities, our collective history, gutted to the point where it’s too late.

It always gets me the lengths people go to try to argue that LLMs and image generation models "aren't really AI", and then they point to "AI" things, and they're based on the same underlying tech. AlphaFold is built on latents, diffusion, *and* Transformers.
Before AlphaFold: Biology was like trying to understand machines without seeing their shapes. After AlphaFold: Scientists suddenly received a massive 3D blueprint library for life’s molecular machinery. This is how we can use AI for good. But w/o regulation, we risk harm to society.
