ok let’s talk about this. there’s nothing in biology that requires unknown physics to figure out. its all information processing and molecular mechanics. so we can assume that given a long enough timeframe eventually synthetic wombs will be possible

so they’ll use it in hospitals to save extremely premature babies and unwanted embryos and such. from there it cascades: infertile women demand womb tank tech rather than making a surrogate in India do it instead (which is quite a bit more disturbing for most)

they’ll then immediately become commercially inevitable due to potential use by the meat industry to print livestock at scale. then, people will notice that we’re not using this miracle technology to save premie babies and abortions, and what kind of monster lets babies die.

@dcwych @halvorz @stevejohnryan i remain hopeful that they put out more info on this tho overall what amazes me about AF & AF-multimeric was the amount of information that was hiding in the evolutionary history beating out all physics based approaches -- makes me think theres a lot more to do here

@dcwych @halvorz @stevejohnryan even in binding problems that involve complex dynamics i can no longer conscionably think the best way to approach the truth is running insane MD simulations
@dcwych @halvorz @stevejohnryan lol this'll be a tough sell but AF2 is a relatively small model with a humble inference compute demand - you could run the final version on commodity hardware at home on proteins below a certain size
my next company needs to be only insane schizo online degenerates. we will have a private mastodon instance instead of slack. no professionals no suits no phd grads only r*tards

@gbrl_dick all modern food scarcity is caused by political failure so this is really a UN vote for toppling West African despots and such

@gbrl_dick also I think its not a half bad human right (much better than the very nebulous “housing” because it has an objective measure: is the individual starving)
