Because if you go look at the catalysts, you know, the what catalysts.

Let's change the world.

None of them are single crystal materials that are really well suited for DFT.

They're always like they have grain boundaries, they have dopants, they're complicated, right?

And you never capture a DFT.

So I think this is one of the

fundamental, I don't know, dichotomies of the world is that simulations simulate really boring things really well.

They don't simulate interesting things very well.

And so that's why I

don't do DFT and MD anymore.

Aaron

Alpha was trained on X-ray crystallography data.

And I think, you know, this is the

This is the story of MD, is that MD was supposed to be the protein folding solution.

There is a great counterexample.

There's a, I don't know what there's the word, the counterfactual is basically a group called Desres, Dishaw Research.

They had, you know, similar funding to DeepMind.

Um, probably more actually.

They tested the hypothesis to death that MD could fold proteins.

They built their own silicon, they built their own clusters, they had them taped out all themselves.
