The LLM did not design the drug. The LLM summarized some papers on how to design similar drugs, and then a dozen specialized tools were used in an established pipeline to design the drug. You people need to read the article and read the background before writing nonsense based on your assumptions.

Here's a previous comment of mine talking about personalized mRNA vaccines with useful citations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47210284

Funny how you keep skipping the unbelievable part of the story out of your replies: why would he spend 3 month hand typing a document that an LLM can definitely make at least 80% of it in one shot?

  • Have you ever tried writing a long, complicated document with an LLM? The last 20% takes 99% of the work.

    • > The last 20% takes 99% of the work.

      Of course it does, since the first 80% take literal minutes! But if you compare to doing it entirely manually, it's still x5 more efficient.

      Why would you do it all by hand (spending 200hours in the process…) when you're an “AI entrepreneur”…

      In fairness, it pains me to see people as gullible as you are just because you like the idea of the story being true.
