I think that all these people making companies that are just like, you know, open AI wrapper, like trying to do something new because it has an LLM in it is vastly overrated. And I think that that's something that is not going to last.
All right. Okay. Next, the most underhyped AI breakthrough.

Yeah, I think this has received a decent amount of hype in the bio community, but I think it's not being talked about enough in general, is AI ability to recognize proteins and the way that they fold. This is stuff that previously took ages and ages for humans to do. People got their PhDs analyzing a singular protein, and now we have a technology,

that has done that for hundreds of thousands of proteins, like even ones that we haven't found in nature. So it's absolutely incredible, absolutely a monumental breakthrough for biology, for medicine, and it's going to have absolutely huge impacts on health and research and everything in the next, you know, who knows how many years.

And it's really not being talked about outside of, you know, these spheres at all.

Okay. Well, it's on here now. So now it's going to blow up. One book everyone should read about the future.

Again, a little, uh, I feel like it's a decently well-known book. And it's actually kind of about the past, but I think it tells us really how to think about the future. And that is Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman by Richard Feynman of the Manhattan Project fame and MIT and all that. It's just one of my favorite books. It's super clever.

It really gets in the mind of how you should think as a scientist and puts you in the brain of someone who's just way, way smarter than myself, which is why I like it. I won't speak for everyone, but Feynman's a pretty genius guy.
