Replying to an earlier post

Funny, one of the first arguments I had about AI was with someone who insisted it would be incredibly helpful at predicting protein folds.

That person was right: https://medicine.iu.edu/blogs/research-updates/the-protein-folding-problem-the-day-ai-unlocked-a-secret-of-life

So this may be why Google is closing AlphaFold; AI is already doing it.

What I mean is I thought it was implied that AlphaFold is shutting down because Gemini can simply continue the work better.
