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.

LLMs can't do protein folding. A specifically-trained Machine Learning model called AlphaFold did. Here's the paper.

Developing, training and fine tuning that model was a research effort led by two guys who got a Nobel for it. Alphafold can't do conversation or give you hummus recipes, it knows shit about the structure of human language but can identify patterns in the domain where it has been specifically and painstakingly trained.

It wasn't "hey chatGPT, show me how to fold a protein" is all I'm saying and the "superhuman reasoning capabilities" of current LLMs are still falling ridiculously short of much simpler problems.

The crawlers for LLM are not themselves LLMs.
