not my field so I can't judge how useful it is but assuming this data can be used for drug discovery and their ToS limiting to non-commercial use only. Does DeepMind plan on selling this data to pharmaceutical companies?

Hopefully. Tired, as a shareholder, to see the giveaways that deepmind is doing.

Astroturfing, eh? This is verbatim the same comment as another user in this thread. Strange...

This Google blog post is a distilled version of a Deep Mind blog post:

They are only announcing a cache. The origin for the cache is not discussed.

In particular, the question of whether to trust the predictions is not addressed. For that, I think the citation is from January:

the Google DeepMind PR team can't catch a break, shame it makes no sense to me - if someone's in the field maybe they could explain to the rest of us if this is a big deal, just a PR move, or nah?

Just wait a few months, if it is a big deal that will likely be obvious by then
