If I’m understanding this right:
1. They have a protein model similar to AlphaFold
2. A biotech startup used this model to engineer a protein that converts adult cells into stem cells, at a higher efficiency than existing techniques. (But still only a tiny fraction of cells convert)
Application to life extension seems speculative.
Yes, that's how I read it too.
Seems odd that OpenAI would want to get involved in this space, feels like Deepmind has a huge headstart already.
