The AI drug revolution is going to be amazing. Eventually there should be no disease we cannot cure, and death will become optional.

this is the way

Hope so, i don't wanna die yet

lol, let AI cure one thing first

It made the moderna covid vaccine in 3 days

I'm not sure that was AI. They sequenced the genome of COVID rather quickly, which is a rather small genome. They then picked a protein target and grabbed the RNA for it and then threw that into their mRNA vaccine system that was already developed. I don't think they used much AI in that process.

It did the protein folding

It’s wild how a decade ago protein folding was an insane problem to solve. People were waiting together cloud super computers just to solve a single protein. Then 2 years ago Google releases a program that can do any and all folding almost instantly.

IV been saying for many years.

AI will cure cancer

It’s gonna be like Futurama where they send you away when you reach a certain age.

What if they make other drugs comrade?

Read it said it was just a test no follow ups

>Insilico said it’s currently not interested in pursuing clinical trials for the potential drug; it’ll leave that for other researchers to follow now that the molecule has been publicly identified. Instead, the main purpose of the study was to serve as a “proof of concept” of what is now possible with AI, said Alán Aspuru-Guzik, a professor of computer science and chemistry at U of T, director of the Acceleration Consortium and the co-principal investigator who led the study.

So there won’t be any follow up with this drug.

Proof of concept.

So what's the point, the ai just output some garbage, but without any more test it's worthless, we don't know if it's garbage or something really useful...
