this is very astute, not only about deepmind but about science and humanity overall. what CASP did was narrowly scope a hard problem, provided clear rules and metrics for evaluating participants, and offered a regular forum in which candidates can showcase skills -- they created a "game" or competition. in doing so, they advanced the state of knowledge regarding protein structure. how can we apply this to cancer and deepen our understanding? specifically, what parts of cancer can we narrowly scope that are still broadly applicable to a complex heterogenous disease and evaluate with objective metrics? [edited to stress the goal of advancing cancer knowledge, not to "gamify" cancer science but to create structures that inivte more ways to increase our understanding of cancer.]
