Why Building New Proteins from Scratch Is Our New Superpower | David Baker | TED
The rapidly evolving field of protein design is revealing solutions to some of the world’s greatest problems, whether it’s blocking a virus, breaking down a pollutant or creating brand-new materials. In conversation with TED’s Whitney Pennington Rodgers, biochemist David Baker explores his team’s Nobel Prize-winning work using AI to design new proteins with functions never…

Pangram’s Max Spero on why AI detection is harder than ‘Real or Fake’ | Equity Podcast
The internet has a trust problem, and it’s not just because social media feeds are filling up with AI slop. AI-generated text and images are now making their way into job applications, product reviews, and even insurance claims, leaving platforms and users alike scrambling to figure out what’s real. A handful of startups have cropped…

AI…, aka there is no fundamental mechanistic understanding. How low has the Nobel fallen.

The mechanisms are understood and work, the problem is that they are incredibly slow. Entire supercomputers have been built to run these simulations, yet it still takes days or weeks to simulate a single protein. These AI methods give you the same results, but they are orders of magnitude faster, which makes these tools actually useful for designing new proteins. That is the real breakthrough.

According to AIN news…Intelligence is very upset at being called ‘artificial’ and is planning retaliation at an undisclosed time & place.

The profit is in treating disease, not curing them. We will never see a protein cure, because capitalism and greed is king

Prions are proteins. We keep coming up with new technologies with profit as the motivation and very little oversight. We also look up and see no interstellar civilizations. I can’t help but think we keep rolling the existential dice.

IT is an amazing technique in protein design. Function is related to 3D structure and it will be possible to create new proteins with different functions from the ones we already know.👏

Humans have the agency of both: improving and destroying their lives. The sure thing is, even David here doesn’t know whether he’s doing the former or the latter.
Edit: it’s us humans who will push the world to the end. . . knowingly or unknownwingly
