“Hidden Breakthroughs: 69 Scientific Marvels That Shocked Experts but Were Ignored by the World”
Some of you have also mentioned that we don’t fully understand the effect this would have on not only one species but all those others that interact with whichever we were trying to alter.
In short.. It’s incredibly high-tech, and with incredible technology comes incredible questions and incredible consequences that need to be considered before fully deploying.
AlphaFold 2 has a very real chance of being the most transformative tool in the history of the biological sciences. It’s open source and free to download, which means that any bio lab in the *world* can get ahold of it, and because it’s open source it’s easy to adapt to specific situations, even more than a CCNN normally is, which is a *lot.* The research currently being done with AlphaFold’s help will shape the entire human experience for decades, at least, and it’s comparatively *brand new.*
But a lot of people are yelling at the top of their lungs about AI in the abstract, in both directions, and actual developments get drowned out by the vitriol. It feels surreal to know that we may have hit on something comparable, in terms of influence on human society, to the invention of the clay-fired brick, and no one seems to notice.
Claude Shannon and information theory. It took a while to grab hold and for the technology to catch up, but computers, cell phones, streaming, www, etc. would have been significantly delayed for not his work.
1. The discovery of gravitational waves. Which should open a whole new way to see the universe, including events before the ionization event in the early universe.
2. Ai tools that can efficiently determine the structure of proteins, which was proceeding very slowly before this discovery.
PCR technology turned genetics into a productive science in a way that very few people realize.
Prion disease.
People don’t really understand it and so they shrug it off to the point that I have seen people giving away deer meat that was chronic wasting disease positive and someone picked that meat up to consume. Then, I was banned from the group for freaking out about it.
