Also here’s the link to the fantastic video that I mentioned by @agadmator of my favourite #AlphaZero game against Stockfish - the ‘Immortal Zugzwang game’:

Great summary of the huge impact that ​#AlphaFold has already had on the life sciences: “AlphaFold changes the game” “This is like an earthquake. You can see it everywhere​. ​There is before July ​['21 - AF release] ​and after”​ [link] by @ewencallaway​ @Nature

If you want a ​get a good feel for ​the complexity and sheer number of innovations that were required to make ​#AlphaFold​ ​2 work then check out this great introductory video by​ ​@xsteenbrugge​

Great article from @_RobToews AlphaFold Is The Most Important Achievement In AI—Ever via @forbes

Great review piece on #AlphaFold 2 by @MoAlQuraishi: "The result is both a tour de force of technical innovation and a beautifully designed learning machine, easily containing the equivalent of six or seven solid ML papers but somehow functioning as a single force of nature."

Great commentary piece in @Nature from Thore & team and collaborators, on 'cooperative AI', and the need for more interdisciplinary research on this important topic to inform how best to develop AI to facilitate more helpful & useful collaborations w/human users of those systems

Great short video from the @UKRI_News on #AlphaFold explaining the impact it might have on understanding protein structure and the wider implications for the field

Thanks Lex, great video!

Great piece from @sundarpichai on the important work that @Google & @DeepMind are doing to help combat climate change. Proud of our contributions using AI to efficiently cool data centres, optimise industrial building ctrls, & better predict wind output

Highly recommend binge watching the new Netflix series Queen's Gambit, beautifully filmed, stunningly acted, and a pretty accurate portrayal of what it is like to be a child chess prodigy. Not surprising given that the brilliant @Kasparov63 was a consultant on it! #QueensGambit

Great work from @RoyalSociety DELVE effort: new open-licence international dataset on COVID-19, which will hopefully be a useful resource for the scientific community. Still much to learn about this virus and responses to it - data-driven approaches have an important part to play

one of the best science fiction series ever written (the original trilogy)...
