AlphaFold is a pretty big deal, especially the millions of protein folds they published openly and scientists are just digging into.

It's also very very far from anything general intelligence. This is actually where I think we see the best ROI, we have a specific task or problem and we target it. I remember reading about a model trained on railroad tracks. By putting cameras on trains to take images while running like normal, then using the model to detect cracks before they cause issues.
We don't need general intelligence to create/destroy many things with Ai. Its frustrating that so much of the conversation centers around the variety that concept fissioned language from humans.
