If you only read bad news (i.e. mass news these days since that sells better) this will be the picture. But I have personally seen some insane stuff happen in biotech. Like, I can't believe we're lucky enough to possibly live our life in this kind of future. We already have actual therepeutics developed using Alphafold being tested right now in real clinical trials, but the next generation of stuff that will go into trials in the next 3-5 years will be insane. We will look back at current medicine like we look back at medieval times today.

Maybe in the next century but by that time you and me both will be under the ground, and no, Amodei's doubling of human lifespan simply won't happen.

- okamiueru 5mo agoAlphaFold is not an LLM. As such, it isn't a fitting example for "good news" related to LLMs.
- nektro 5mo agoAlphafold isn't generative and using this as a rebuttal to OP is bad faith
