Can there be a challenge that actually does some maliciously useful compute? Like make their crawlers mine bitcoin or something.

Did you just say use the words "useful" and "bitcoin" in the same sentence? o_O

Bro couldn't even bring himself to mention protein folding because that's too socialist I guess.

Hey dipshits:

The number of mouth-breathers who think every fucking "AI" is a fucking LLM is too damn high.

AlphaFold is not a language model. It is specifically designed to predict the 3D structure of proteins, using a neural network architecture that reasons over a spatial graph of the protein's amino acids.

  • Every artificial intelligence is not a deep neural network algorithm.
  • Every deep neural network algorithm is not a generative adversarial network.
  • Every generative adversarial network is not a language model.
  • Every language model is not a large language model.

Fucking fart-sniffing twats.
