And so the tech industry is rushing forward to put AI everywhere at enormous cost—energy, emissions, manufacturing capacity, the ability to buy RAM—and locked into the narrow framework of software brain without realizing they are also asking people to be fundamentally less human." BIOTECHNOLOGY AI-Designed Drugs by a DeepMind Spinoff Are Headed to Human Trials Emily Mullin | Wired ($) "In a technical paper [released earlier this year], the company touts that the [new IsoDDE] platform more than doubles the accuracy of AlphaFold 3. The startup has formed partnerships with Eli Lilly and Novartis to work together on AI drug discovery and is also advancing its own 'broad and exciting pipeline of new medicines' in oncology and immunology, Jaderberg said." Computing We Might Finally Know How to Use Quantum Computers to Boost AIKarmela Padavic-Callaghan | New Scientist ($) "They showed not only that this approach can work but that it would allow the quantum computer to process more data at a smaller memory cost than any conventional computer. The memory advantage is so large, in fact, that a quantum computer made from about 300 error-proof building blocks called logical qubits would outperform a classical computer built using every atom in the observable universe, says Zhao." Future New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire NationsMolly Taft | Wired ($) "A Wired review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to
