πŸŽ‰ Oh, goody! The #Zuckerbergs are throwing half a billion at virtual biology! Because, clearly, the solution to all diseases was just waiting for a sprinkle of #AI magic dust and some multi-modal datasets. 🌟 Let's hope they remembered to turn it off and on again! πŸ€–πŸ”§

More people writing/talking about organic molecules in space as if it’s a new idea.

But I wonder ... if a given volume of spacetime has a simple organic molecule in it β€” glycine, say, as compared to just an atom of hydrogen β€” does that increase the probability of the occurrence of a #BoltzmannBrain round it and perhaps increase its durability?  Long enough to write a microblog post perhaps? πŸ€”

Maybe that just happened?

Has anyone tried to quantify this?
