Be careful on who you trust. The author of the article is a professor in structural biology (the field on protein structure) at Imperial College in London. The article is well written and the criticisms are fair and carefully stated. Dont come to HN to get scientific opinions. This site is pretty mediocre at that. There are exceptions of course.


sure but also keep in mind that a professor in structural biology is not necessarily a consumer of structural biology (versus me, plus I have citations proving that I have consumed them) ;)


"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."


Talking about the professor or the commenter?


The AI that I currently help orchestrate is not in the sciences. I do plan to go back into biotech someday, but not in anything that requires this in a major way (the intended disruption is socioeconomic, not technological)


Pretty sure Prof. Stephen Curry could crush most of his critics in 1-on-1 basketball as well.
