If cancer treatment is bottlenecked by creating a virtual cell, a million superintelligences in the 1960s might still have been unable to cure cancer without first developing the computing technology needed to simulate that cell.

“it some you know it takes like a tremendous amount of computer i assume to train these dna foundation models and to do all the other competition necessary to simulate a virtual cell if it is the case that the cure for alzheimer's and cancer and so forth is bottlenecked by the virtual cell it's not clear if you had a million super intelligences in the 60s um and you ask them cure cancer for me um they would just have to”
