Episode notes

Alpha Fold is simulating modeling this permanent building block of life which is a protein. And it's 3D shape. It's pretty remarkable that they can actually predict what the 3D shape of these things are. They took that same thing and just changed the rules to chess. Within a couple of days it now played a master level of chess greater than any human being. The same thing then worked for Alpha Fold which no human had done. I mean human beings could do, the best humans could maybe do 15, 20% of figuring out what the shape would be. After a few takes it ultimately did just about 100%.
