The AI drug revolution is going to be amazing. Eventually there should be no disease we cannot cure, and death will become optional.

I'm not sure that was AI. They sequenced the genome of COVID rather quickly, which is a rather small genome. They then picked a protein target and grabbed the RNA for it and then threw that into their mRNA vaccine system that was already developed. I don't think they used much AI in that process.

It’s wild how a decade ago protein folding was an insane problem to solve. People were waiting together cloud super computers just to solve a single protein. Then 2 years ago Google releases a program that can do any and all folding almost instantly.
