    Not strictly LLMs, but neural nets are really good at protein folding, something that very much directly helps understanding cancer amount other things. I know an answer doesn’t magically pop out, but it’s important to recognise the use cases where NN actually work well.

      I’m trying to guess what industries might do well if the AI bubble does burst. I imagine there will be huge AI datacenters filled with so-called “GPUs” that can no longer even do graphics. They don’t even do floating point calculations anymore, and I’ve heard their integer matrix calculations are lossy. So, basically useless for almost everything other than AI.

      One of the few industries that I think might benefit is pharmaceuticals. I think maybe these GPUs can still do protein folding. If so, the pharma industry might suddenly have access to AI resources at pennies on the dollar.

        integer calculations are lossy because they’re integers. There is nothing extra there. Those GPUs have plenty of uses.
