Protein Discovery Accelerated by AI
- The first protein crystallization and reverse engineering took 12 years using simple tools.
- Now AI discovered 250 million proteins in just two years, vastly accelerating biology knowledge.
Human Intelligence Remains Constant
- Humans have roughly the same brain size and cognitive ability as cavemen.
- The big change coming is when AI makes people effectively smarter than we are.
Huang's Law Surpasses Moore's Law
- Moore's Law doubled transistors every two years, accelerating tech 60 years ago.
- Huang's Law improves AI training speed 25x every five years, creating a steep growth kink today.
