  1. What is the function of diverse protein isoforms in human cells?

    An interesting bioRxiv preprint by the group of Abdullah Kahraman with first author Jakob Steuer addresses this question on a proteome-wide scale.

  6. Alphafold hatte scheinbar gezeigt, dass die Kombination aus KI und ausreichenden Daten bahnbrechende Entdeckungen möglich macht, auch wenn wir die zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen nicht verstehen. Schon wieder kam die Debatte auf, dass wir es mit dem finalen Ende der Wissenschaft dank KI zu tun hätten. In Wahrheit ist es jedoch anders, schreibt Eric Schmidt in seinem Kommentar. (+)

  11. I am looking for a catalogue or overview of verified (!) successful #AI applications. Not some AI marketing spiel. Nor promises of breakthroughs in the future. But actual achievements, confirmed by human/scientific checks. Like #alphafold . Ideally different AI/ techniques/types (not merely LLMs). #askfedi

    Landmark project that solved protein folding gives way to a wider race to build #AI systems for scientific discovery
    DeepMind confirmed staffers have moved internally to projects built around Google’s #Gemini #largelanguagemodel, as well as areas including enzyme design, nuclear fusion and genomics.

  21. If anyone has any doubts that the #AI industry is all about dismantling labour rights, let's consider this:

    engadget.com/2225849/google-sh

    Google shuts down the #AlphaFold project. One of the most impactful machine learning projects in the sciences is being dismantled despite its immense value.

    Why?

    The article doesn't mention it, but it's almost certainly because DeepMind was trying to form a union to protect their rights and oppose Google's military contracts.

  25. I'm seeing quite some indignation in Mastodon about the #AlphaFold team being shut down. I think some context from someone in this area may clarify some things. First, neither the AlphaFold models nor the AlphaFold database are going away, as some seem to be implying. In any case, this is an area of intense research with many players and AF-style models are now dime a dozen, including open-source alternatives with more permissive licenses (it's frankly hard to keep track of all the models that come out). Second, this doesn't mean Google is exiting this area; instead, these efforts will probably be redirected to closed-source work at Isomorphic (see IsoDDE). And finally, this is not really a surprise. John Jumper, who led the team, had already indicated last year his research focus was going to be elsewhere.

  30. Want to cure cancer, Parkinson, and Alzheimer with the help of AI? Capitalism: "Sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." That's Capitalism, baby!!! It only lets you do something if that something has the potential of making a profit.

    Since curing diseases will never increase profits of whatever entity, these diseases will not be cured until societies stop being dominated by the profit motive and by markets in general... Yeah, because indeed this has absolutely nothing to do with AI, but rather with political economy.

    "Google DeepMind has dismantled the team behind AlphaFold, its Nobel Prize-winning AI system for predicting protein structures, as the company overhauls the research strategy that made it one of the world’s leading AI laboratories.
    The majority of the original authors of the AlphaFold papers have been reassigned over the past year, according to an FT analysis of recent job moves and people familiar with the matter.

    DeepMind confirmed the staffers have moved internally to projects built around Google’s Gemini large language model, as well as areas including enzyme design, nuclear fusion and genomics.

    Others have relocated to Alphabet’s drug-discovery company Isomorphic Labs. Nearly a quarter of the full-time Google DeepMind authors of the original AlphaFold papers have left the company altogether.

    The reshuffle reflects a significant change in DeepMind’s scientific strategy since the rise of large language models."
