CRISPR is powerful but imprecise. AI is solving the precision problem — predicting off-target cuts and designing better guide RNAs.
Ignore the press releases. Quantum computing has made real progress but isn't replacing your laptop anytime soon. Here's the actual state of the field.
Mars rovers drive themselves. Rocket boosters land autonomously. Telescopes discover exoplanets via AI pattern recognition. The space-AI convergence is accelerating.
AlphaFold solved protein folding. AlphaFold 3 solves protein-drug interactions. The implications for pharmaceutical R&D are staggering.
