Researchers in China have unveiled a new AI framework that could accelerate the discovery of new medicines. DrugCLIP can scan millions of potential drug compounds against thousands of protein targets in just a few hours—ten million times faster than current virtual screening methods.

    AI needs to be used more for this type of stuff, instead of falsifying reality through realistic videos and pictures.

      Most people don’t use them for framing, just like most people don’t use knives for murder.

    Imagine how much the world could achieve if we actually collaborated, instead the Empire will be using this technology to try to figure out how to to destroy human lives better.

    Outside of some few research centers that develop patented treatments, inaccessible to most of the population. The Empire has so much resources, but it’s completely unsynchronized and there’s nothing that we can do. At best I’m gonna be running a tiny org with a clique of friends, who probably won’t let me onboard 2/3’s of the people I’d like to work with, due to personal grievances.

    Here AI is used to generate poetry and to replace teachers at schools and we’re gonna be engaged in fierce ideological warfare over what is to be done with AI, but we definitely won’t organize or develop productive forces.

      there’s an underlying material reason why AI is being developed in different ways in the US and in China https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-automation-of-the-hollow

        Clear, concise, to the point! Going to spam this again, because of course the Dialectal Dispatches article reminded me of it. https://archive.org/details/wastemakers00pack

          Oh yeah that’s a great read. Vance Packard really hit on something visceral because he wasn’t just complaining about junk but was instead dissecting the intentional psychological and economic engineering of a throwaway culture. Framing the whole post-war American economy as a sort of runaway train where the only way to keep the wheels turning is to force people to buy things they don’t need with money they don’t have is a really valuable insight in my opinion.

    Super cool, the more they discover these protein based medicine the better. Everything like this can be made with bioreactors using GMO’d yeast, which is not really crazy technology to get your hands on.

    B-But the reactionaries told me AI was bad for (capitalist) society, so I should uncritically despise it :(
