    Breakthroughs like this WILL come from AI. But…

    1. They’re not going to come from LLMs or image generating AIs.
    2. They’re not going to come from the numbnuts generating comics in his bedroom - they’ll come from real scientists.

      As demonstrated by AlphaFold, which is neither an LLM nor generative AI. Coincidentally, I’ve never heard any actual complaints about what AlphaFold does for research, and the complaints seem to focus on LLMs and generative AI instead. Go figure.

      It’s going to come from scientists who know how to use ML to supplement their work. Also I don’t think we are finding cure for cancer as a drug. Only cure I think may work 100% we master fully controllable nanotech that can also read DNA non invasively.

        Never going to happen.

        Cancer isn’t one disease, it’s a series of different diseases for each organ.

          Cancers are one thing: cells dividing beyond the limit. This is a DNA problem, made worse by existing mutations. Turns out LLMs are getting really good really fast at biology. So why then is it “never going to happen”? What’s the blocker?
