Pretty sure this is a direct dig against Sam Altman specifically who is making huge claims despite no evidence that they're making progress on AGI.
The people actually using AI to cure cancer were probably doing it before OpenAI (remember when we called it Machine Learning?) and haven't been going to the media and Musking the completion date
🤣🤣🤣
First, the team inputted the structure of the cancer target into a generative AI model called RFdiffusion. That model had been trained on known protein structures and their amino acid sequences, the strings of building blocks that fold up into individual proteins. RFdiffusion proposed protein shapes that fit the target like a key fits a lock. A second AI model suggested strings of amino acids that, when folded into 3-D structures, would likely form the proposed shapes. Jenkins and his colleagues then blasted through tens of thousands of protein designs and, with the help of a third AI model that checked all that work, narrowed the designs down to 44 options that they tested in the lab. One appeared to be a winner. In lab experiments, human T cells engineered to have the AI-designed protein on their surface could rapidly kill melanoma cells and prevent the cancer from growing.
Yeah, the people actually making progress were doing it before Sam Altman. RFdiffusion was made by the same people who released Rosetta@home 20 years ago
Yeah it’s not a very good one though because it’s predicated on the idea that a company can’t make more than one product.
I also don’t believe OpenAI is anywhere close to AGI, but obviously they can try to make AGI and make horny chatbots at the same time.
No, it's still a pretty good dig. Their inflated valuation hinges on AGI but the only news they actually provide is that they're going to let subscribers fuck their chatbots for $200/month (or whatever it costs)
It couldn't be more obvious that they're grasping at straws
Well, current AI seems incredibly good as a basic assistant. Just ask it for sources, it will only piss you off 10% of the time.
It's certainly not useless, I'm not a blanket hater
