They solved an open challenge problem, Protein Structure Prediction, with AlphaFold, which has been nothing short of revolutionary in the structural biology and biochemistry fields. I do scientific research in these fields and the capabilities AlphaFold provides are used now everywhere.

Yes, many research papers have been written, and many CVs have added lines which include the word "AlphaFold". But has the human condition been improved one iota from the "discovery"? Has anything real actually happened? Not at all. Only "maybes" and "possibilities" after more than 5 years of work. "Revolutionary" at padding researcher CVs indeed.

Man, with al respect why your “hate” with the good guys working at DeepMind? Everybody loves and respect Demis Hassabis, he is truly a genius. He really wants the best for the world/humanity and that takes a ton of time, so let’s wait and see.

Curious what this research has actually improved in a practical sense? I’m asking for a friend…
