Almost as if we shouldn’t be trusting vital scientific research to factory farms for human beings or something.

not all applications of machine learning techniques are bad. here at google, we’re working nonstop to fix that https://mstdn.social/@hkrn/117004052393948286

You have to understand this vital distinction: Google didn’t carry out this research, the scientists employed by Google carried out this research. These same scientists could be employed with our taxes if the whole damn system wasn’t corrupt to its core.

Even better: employed with Google's taxes.

Tax #BigTech to fund universities and make the research #OpenAccess sounds a good plan.

This is like when, in the municipality of As Pontes in my country, the coal plant had a lot of programs for planting gardens and other biodiversity initiatives. We could have had all these biodiversity programs without a coal plant all this time. Letting the coal plant control a majority percentage of the garden and forest planting money does not improve biodiversity, it only improves the coal business.

AlphaFold 3 already had a very problematic license, so many researchers were avoiding it. Fortunately there are open alternatives to AlphaFold, such as Boltz-2, available already.
