    Wake up Be sad Be sad through the day See two minute papir upload Be happy
  • I love how this channel has come from very embryonic AI researches to very practical applications of new AIs. What a time to be alive!
  • @DisturbedNeo
    As a quick (and probably low) estimate, if we say “a few” years/minutes is each 5, and the number of experiments is 100, then AlphaFold represents a 52,560,000x increase in speed for these experiments. That is unfathomably game-changing.
  • @deep.space.12
    3:54 "Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Nope. I'm thinking Jurassic Park.
  • @CYI3ERPUNK
    ive tried explaining the significance of Alphafold to several ppl , i find it almost impossible to put into words properly ; this is like 1000+ years worth of biologists working nonstop ; most ppl just do not comprehend how much of a game-changer this one narrow AI is [nevermind the growing awareness around other AIs like GPT4/5/etc]
  • @krispywafers
    I feel like alphafold could possibly reverse engineer many neurological disorders like epilepsy, Alzheimer’s or seizures. I hope this can be developed more into the future.
  • I’m totally okay with my top 1% folding@home score being done in hours rather than years 😂
  • @ace90210ace
    you should look at new concept in some new papers people are calling "chatgpt reflection" where you literally just answer chatgpts response with "how well did that response meet the assignment" (or similar) it reflects on its own work and apparently its massive step forward in success rate as its great at realising its own mistakes and correctly them with nothing more than saying basically asking it to "just double check that"
  • There is no doubt, this is the year of AI. The name should be changed to Two Minute Papers of 2023.
  • @erikziak1249
    Protein folding was "the" research even 10 years ago. With AI, it really makes unbelievable progress in a very short time.
  • Thanks for the upload! Always love hearing about Deepmind and Alphafold
  • @glenyoung1809
    The danger facing us now with this new technology is the military applications of this technology by any government to produce very advanced bioweapons. So far there is no international oversight of such uses and there are too many countries who already have the technological infrastructure to start producing such weapons. There is also no shortage of animosity between nations to fuel an excuse to use such weapons on each other.
  • @Pico_444
    Few truly grasp how fast this is going. AGI will all of the sudden emerge without us noticing. Everything is about to change
  • @olli3686
    Honestly, I've been waiting for this for years! I remember when the folding program came out originally and playing around with that was fun, but I always knew an A.I. would be required to get anything real done in our lifetime.
  • @Madlion
    Not the typical Two Minutes Paper but this is one of the most important tool mankind has invented in history. This solves so many real problems
  • @catman4859
    Please do a video on the reflexion paper for chatgpt and gpt4. They are extremely important papers imo.
  • I wasn't able to understand the video mostly due to my lack of knowledge in that field, but from knowing what TMP uploads, it must be good. What a time to be alive!
  • @KurtZoglmann
    It will be helpful for determining protein structures that can bind to and act as catalysts to break down forever chemicals, such as PFAS. Pretty amazing stuff!
  • @rwalper
    And as these types of AI combine with other advanced AIs like Chat GPT, the future of hyper intelligence races ahead faster than we can already imagine.
  • I'd like to see those plastic digesting proteins applied as a supplement you can take to clear the microplastics out of your body.
