Yeah, because LLMs have shown they understand language and aren't bullshitting us. /s

Like I get this might generate new leads to explore, but to say it's a virtual cell as if the model is somehow self-consistent is malpractice.

Paywalled. Only let's you read part of the article.

ty. Comments are angry that this was posted, but it was worth reading.

The tldr of link to AI is that AI was useful in modeling proteins, and LLM predictivity has been used to predict DNA sequences. Fine, "closer" is clickbaity, but article gives overview of potential, and approaches focused on getting there.

I got there by other means, but thank you.

Usual media overhype, disregard and wait 20y to make a conclusion unless you're knowledgeable enough to know both scientific and technological limitations.

This right here

I see clickbaity titles like this all day, every day. Same for batteries, 99.9% of the articles are just pure fluff that shouldn't have been written in the first place

I'm tired of the lies and bullshit everywhere everyone runs with bullshit and these days the Internet has turned into 95% bullshit and grifting. Just make clickbait to get more money, who gives a shit what's real and what's not
