    At the time I was working on cancer research, but I wanted to build a database of gene mutations and model them using AlphaFold (predicts a protein structure). No one in my life at the time cared at all.

    I can see how people fall for AI bots, why they develop parasocial relationships with them. I can’t blame when desperate people fall for something that gives a bit of comfort.

      That legitimately sounds really interesting and cool

      But I get how it feels when you have a niche interest that most people don’t even have a starting point to understand
