It was beautiful.
Amazing.

Maybe the government would buy like five of these things and we could fold up, you know, maybe one protein a day or two proteins a day.
And when AlphaFold came out and it's like you can do it in Google Colab, you know, or on a GP or desktop, it was so mind blowing.
I forget
Like that protein folding was solved.
I always thought that was inevitable.
But the fact that it was solved and on like your desktop you can do it was just completely florid, changed everything.
Yeah, I don't even know what it is.
