AlphaFold 3 is being developed by Isomorphic Labs, a different Alphabet subsidiary. The fact that it is no longer being developed by DeepMind is irrelevant to both the project and the world.
IE, this story is just bogus and poorly researched. There isn't much more to say about it.
Yep - and the taxpayers will pay millions, and the idiots responsible continue in their jobs.
So what?
Do you honestly think that it is going to be faster to
- Call 911
- Get an EMS vehicle dispatched
- Send it to them
If you do, I think you need to rethink that process. Or, you have never before called 911.
Also, FYI, despite what you may think, ambulances DO have to follow the speed limit.
This whole process seems very dumb and not thought through.
If someone is not responsive in the back of a vehicle when the ride ends. the vehicle should just BE DRIVEN TO THE NEAREST EMS LOCATION, either the fire department or hospital. Calling the city EMS and wasting their time is nonsensical when the person IS IN A VEHICLE THAT DRIVES ITSELF ALREADY.
Then, if they get to the EMS and it turns out the person is just asleep, then charge them a few hundred dollars and reimburse the city.
I am deep in the AI space
And I can tell you, the number of companies that have deployed AI to production well, to any kind of degree, are very slim.
The problem isn't the technology. Its that most companies are staffed and run by incompetants, and are unable to change at the pace needed to get benefit from AI
The disruption caused by AI is going to be felt as existing Fortune 1000 companies all start being disrupted by other companies with half of the operating expenses.

Ironically, with the current state of affairs and AI slop everywhere.. I am finding more and more than the curated feed of personal connections I get on Facebook is much more aligned with what I want to be doing on social media. I am spending more time there again.
The way the tech works is the camera in the glasses itself is looking for the extra light coming from the LED, which is of a very specific frequency. If the light is not picked up by the camera within the first second of video, then the glasses are disabled. In this way, you can't disable the light, or cover it with tape, or drill it, or anything else - because if the camera can not see it, then the glasses shut off
When you post idiot comments like that when it is clear you never even watched the ad in the post, you look like a tool
You didn't even watch the ad, and that is self evident.
99% of the ad is just panning around between Google tools and making jokes.
You are ranting and raving about nothing.
It started as a very easy to use wiki, for internal knowledge at a company. It still is good for that use case.
But they tried to bolt on everything else under the sun to it, and it now tries to compete with Trello, Asana, Monday, JIRA, and everything else... and now apparently GMail as well.
The more a company tries to do in Notion ("because we already have it"), the more messy and unusable of a mess it becomes.
All of the software on all of these devices comes from random anonymous people from all over the world.
All of the software on everyone's phone and PC and server is based on open source coming from all over the world.
The rule is there for economic protectionism.
That is the reality.
I have zero interest in getting looped into Meta's sub-standard AI and relying on it for stuff when the rest of my ecosystem is all wired into Gemini and Claude.
When will a glasses maker launch with OPEN SUPPORT for what AI assistant you want to use with it? Why does it need to be tied to a specific vendor?
