Thanks to DALL-E, the Race to Make Artificial Protein Drugs Is On

While “protein” often evokes pictures of chicken breasts, these molecules are more similar to an intricate Lego puzzle. Building a protein starts with a string of amino acids—think a myriad of Christmas lights on a string— which then fold into 3D structures (like rumpling them up for storage).

DeepMind and Baker both made waves when they each developed algorithms to predict the structure of any protein based on their amino acid sequence. It was no simple endeavor; the predictions were mapped at the atomic level.

Designing new proteins raises the complexity to another level. This year Baker’s lab took a stab at it, with one effort using good old screening techniques and another relying on deep learning hallucinations. Both algorithms are extremely powerful for demystifying natural proteins and generating new ones, but they were hard to scale up.

Why ChatGPT is not a threat to Google Search

Since OpenAI released ChatGPT, there has been a lot of speculation about what its killer app will be. And perhaps topping the list is online search. According to The New York Times, Google’s management has declared a “code red” and is scrambling to protect its online search monopoly against the disruption that ChatGPT will bring.

ChatGPT is a wonderful technology, one that has a great chance of redefining the way we create and interact with digital information. It can have many interesting applications, including for online search.

But it might be a bit of a stretch to claim that it will dethrone Google—at least from what we have seen so far. For the moment, large language models (LLM) have many problems that need to be fixed before they can possibly challenge search engines. And even when the technology matures, Google Search might be positioned to gain the most from LLMs.

AI in Luxury Real Estate: How Artificial Intelligence is Revolutionizing the Industry and Increasing Sales

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing technology with the potential to revolutionize many industries, and luxury real estate is no exception. With its ability to analyze large amounts of data, identify patterns and trends, and even communicate with clients, AI can be a valuable tool for increasing sales in the luxury real estate market.

One of the key benefits of AI in the luxury real estate market is its ability to provide personalized recommendations to clients. By analyzing a client’s search history, preferences, and budget, AI algorithms can suggest properties that are the most likely to appeal to them. This can save time for both the client and the real estate agent, as it reduces the need to sift through countless listings to find the right property.

Another benefit of AI in the luxury real estate market is its ability to enhance the overall customer experience. For example, some real estate firms are using chatbots that can answer questions and provide information about properties to potential buyers. These chatbots can work around the clock, providing assistance to clients whenever they need it. This not only helps to streamline the process of finding a property, but it can also help to build trust and establish a more personal connection with clients.
