Wait... and people use this?

No myth.

Software is utterly trivial compared to the life sciences. The reason is quite simple: reproducibility and explainability.

Do you have any idea of the amount of money involved in pharmaceutical R&D?

Let me guess. You have never stepped in a lab.

Why? This is not an AI problem, it's an industry one. And if it was simple, it would already exist.

Keep waiting

Your outrage is well earned, but fairly rare. The reason nothing is done is because the public doesn't care.

Unlocking is the exact opposite of security.

What problem are you trying to "solve"?

Hard to find an easier thing to build...

Not necessarily. It is often due to a lack of choices (in lead candidates).

There would be less failures if problematic therapies were filtered out before the clinical stage.

This is not a marketing problem, many ML scientists have also fallen into this trap.

Because they want to allow people to recover them.

The security angle is easy to understand.

Not sure why Apple cares about control.

But it easier just to want to make Apple seem bad, so there's that.
