He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.

I don't think this argument is compelling... it treats all structured data as the same.

We're not training on "words" -- we're training on human language use, which is downstream of human thought, which is downstream of human consciousness. It would make sense if a system that absorbs the deep structure of language also absorbs the underlying structure of the thinking that created it.

For alphafold, there is no mind upstream of the data. It's biochemistry -- you would expect a system trained on that data to reproduce the underlying structure of biochemistry or physics, not of thought.

@NickParkerPrint at first thought u were going in a genetic engineering direction -- that seems more feasible than relying on education and breeding

@eigenrobot you don't have to go the academic track -- what about pharma/biotech?

@amypretzel Wow legit useful

prose reflects the physiognomy of your thoughts. the choice of words, stress-rhythm, its inherent musicality... every sentence is an unconscious confession. that's what makes the recognizability of LLM-prose so strange and interesting... what does their prose style say about the physiognomy of their minds?

@Playerinthgame this is actually the Chinese model too, except with government backing instead of VCs

if claude isn't doing well I put his computer next to a faucet of running water.... I hope he finds the waste soothing

@BiotechMongoose I don't think this is true... it had a boom during that time like all tech companies, but it existed before and will exist after. At least, I hope!

"Teams of 2-5 operators augmented by agents will soon start making and commercializing medicines."

only true if you outsource every function a pharma company does to different CROs, in which case all you've is replace a centralized organization to an outsourced one... hard to believe this will be competitive in the long run
