    Yeah. They solved protien folding with ML a few years back. And I like using it for things like noise removal in Lightroom.

    But so much of it has been focused on useless (at best) bullshit that I just want the bubble to burst already.

      I agree with the general sentiment here but just wanted to clarify that they definitely didn’t “solve protein folding” yet. Alpha fold is a significant improvement in structure prediction and it generated a lot of hype but some of the structures I’ve seen it put out are total nonsense.
