Just be aware, the person you're arguing with has several decades experience working on the problem that AlphaFold just solved, and worked for Google on protein folding/design/drug discovery and machine learning for years. When I speak casually on Hacker News, I think people know enough from my writing style to not get triggered and write long analytic responses (but clearly, that's not always true). Think of me as a lawful neutral edge lord.
Either way, AlphaFold is one of the greatest achievements in science so far, and the funding agencies definitely are paying lots of attention to funding additional work in machine learning/biology, so in some sense, my statement is effectively true, even if not pedantically, literally correct.

If your "causal speech" is lying, then I don't think the problem is someone getting "triggered", I think it is because you lied. > write long analytic responses I'll concede that I'm verbose, but this isn't Twitter. I'd rather have real conversations.
