From what I gather, training was done on 170,000 Amino Acids (features) and the resultant protein structure (labels). This is out of 200 million possible proteins.
How many examples were in the test set?
EDIT: Looks like N=100 for test set: “Entrants get amino acid sequences for about 100 proteins whose structures are not known” https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/game-has-changed-ai-...

It also makes one reconsider the notion that monopolies are entirely bad. This essentially appears to be a vanity project for Google. Though of course they'll benefit from it in many ways, but it's not like they're doing this as the core product of their service. It's a pretty awesome achievement.
You've just describe why many Socialists 100 years were very skeptical of anti-trust as trying to sacrifice modernity to proper up a romanticized notion of the past as disaggregated pure-petit-bourgeois capitalism. Really not that different than the critism of the Luddites 100 years before that. See https://ilr.law.uiowa.edu/print/volume-100-issue-5/all-i-rea...

Well, this relies on the assumption that a God also inherently exists outside of time and space, which is debatable even among religious scholars.
I just had a discussion with a friend about this! It's indeed a very difficult question. We ended on the conclusion that God can't possibly exist outside of time and space in the Abrahamic tradition because he precedes the creation of the Universe, but I'm sure there's a twist we missed somewhere.

TODO: 200 million - 170,000 training - 100 test ~= 199.8 million proteins
What happens when AI is better at everything measurable than humans? Better at conversation. Better at making people laugh, and generate attraction or other emotions, better at motivating them, and organizing movements, etc. Clearly we are not ready for such an efficient system... it would be a big disruption to all human organizations and relations. It would start with Twitter botnets and directing sentiment.
But virtual world, say they're better at math. Say they prove all the Clay Millennium Problems. Say they go way beyond those problems and produce some math far beyond human's ability to understand it.
I've been thinking about that for a while and have decided it's fine. Math as a profession will still exist. Fact is, there's already a proof for everything mathematicians are investigating (or a proof that there's no proof, recursively), out there somewhere. Mathematicians are just searching for it, so that it can be understood and translated to human language. The fact that AI already knows the answers doesn't mean that human mathematicians are useless: they are still required to uncover the meaning of these results and translate them into human language. AI then is still just a tool that mathematicians use to help them in their search. Similar to how biologists will use AlphaFold. I guess.
12-13 years ago in a classroom the professor for my intro to bioinformatics class said if you were to solve this problem, you would win a Nobel prize. Congrats to the team! What an achievement.

That would require the AI to exist outside of time and space.
It would be very interesting if there was a way to use computational techniques to go beyond what crystallography and other experimental techniques (Cryo) can accomplish and determine the protein structure in it's true biological setting. Some research into experimental methods for this include high power X-ray pulses.
Nonetheless, impressive work!
