Have you had a chance to use RFdiffusion?

We would love to hear about it! Please share your story here or send us an email: [email protected]

ARE YOU SICK OF AI?! BECAUSE WE DID IT AGAIN IN AN EVEN MORE OBSCURE SPACE THAN TEXT OR IMAGES. BUCKLE UP BECAUSE THIS WONT MAKE ANY SENSE UNLESS YOU LIKE PROTEINS 💃💃🧬🧵

The most impactful use of generative AI may not be text, images, or video. My team @UWproteindesign is developing tools that literally generate new genes 🧬

We call this process protein design.

Here’s a beginner’s guide ⬇️

It's an incredible day for structure-based vaccine design, and I'm thrilled to see our prefusion RSV F antigen get approved as the first RSV vaccine. Still more work to do to reduce the RSV disease burden, but this will help! Congrats @BarneyGrahamMD! https://t.co/8L5JaNy49o

Today we report the use of reinforcement learning, a strategy used to solve games like chess and Go, to a challenge in protein design. This milestone in using #AI for science may enable more effective cancer treatments & new biodegradable textiles.

It's not just #ChatGPT . There’s another facet of the #AI revolution, a marriage of deep learning and #biology , that’s at least as important, but far less widely understood @UWproteindesign @DeepMind @MetaAI https://t.co/3mwlSh38MZ

[Ian Haydon @ichaydon]

.@karaswisher: What's the greatest application of these new AI tools?

.@sama: They will greatly expand our scientific knowledge.

Kara: Isn't that already happening with folding proteins?

Sam: That's the one I am personally most excited about.

@notresz @DaveJuergens You're right — without guidance, denoising is mostly useless. That's why RFD is a guided diffusion model. It can be guided toward a defined topologies or symmetries, or it can be made to include specific protein features like binding or active sites.

@soragnilab That is wild and scary!

It also made up that I have a family full of scientists. Perhaps that trope is so common that it applies it to everyone in science?

[Ian Haydon @ichaydon]

Here's a frightening game:

Ask ChatGPT to write a biography of yourself ➡️ https://t.co/R1m6dTabii

Then add up all the correct and incorrect facts ℹ️

Reply to this tweet w the percents ⬇️

[Ian Haydon @ichaydon]

ChatGPT decided that I have a PhD (I don't), and that I went to UCLA (I didn't).

It also believes that I was involved in an early clinical trial for a Zika vaccine in 2014. (Close I guess?)

It's very wrong — but in interesting ways.

[Ian Haydon @ichaydon]

If your online presence isn't huge, it might not work at all. And if you have a common name... good luck.

My ChatGPT biography is ostensibly about me, but 75% of the information is just not true.
