    That’s great to hear.

    But genome and protein sequencing has been getting easier for the last few decades for a number of reasons. While it sounds like ML is contributing positively, idk if I would call this revolutionary.

    Is there anything new the average person has access to today that they didn’t have before?

    IMO revolutions are like: I have a computer in my pocket that has thousands of times more power than the best ones a few decades ago.

    While I would love to see a revolution in medical science, I have yet to see it (maybe I’m just uninformed). We are getting close to designer babies but I would argue that’s more like social media than the internet in terms of benefits to society.

      I think your definition of revolutionary tech and mine are just fundamentally different here so I don’t think I can point you at what you want.

        That’s fair.

        I fully agree that ML can help in niche ways but yeah I would just say we have another tool in the toolbox not that we are dead set on huge changes in the coming years.
