Radical Numerics CEO @exnx on the first case of gene-editing therapy killing a patient in China where the gene edit for treatment caused a cancer in their brain: "There's been in the news instances, for example, in China, the first instance of gene editing causing a patient to die. They were able to make a gene edit to have therapy for treatment, but then it caused essentially a cancer in their brain." "This kind of cascading of events that is basically a side effect or an unpredictable thing from today's tools is the type of thing that the hope of AI models that can actually learn from large amounts of data provides promise to." "These things are typically handcrafted by biologists, and so being able to have an AI system that can actually find those patterns that humans can't, and then be able to use those patterns to generate and create, is part of the hope of using these genome language models." @RadicalNumerics
