The article (and what I can access of the paper it is based on) doesn't really give any details as to what this class is, how it works etc. All the interesting parts about this aren't mentioned.

Finally a good use of AI, instead of using it to replace artists.
Yeah but think of all the bacteria it's putting out of work.

Quick to the beef depository!
Quick! Produce tons of it and inject them into factory-farm livestock, like we did with all other antibiotics.
First Check if it doesn't make our fingers merge into a stub
Ooo, a new allergy!
My dad was allergic to practically every antibiotic. He only developed the allergy in his senior years. It was a big problem for him. Even if the antibiotic seemed to be working okay, he had to take a lot of Benadryl just in case and keep an epi pen around.
It’s very common as you hit a second puberty and you’re body is suddenly like ‘nah’.
It’s like a warranty is up or something.
Thankfully, my mother doesn't seem to have this problem. She's 81, so if she hasn't developed it yet, I don't think she's going to. Really sucked for my dad though.
Can't wait for anti-antibiotics movements! 😅
Anti-antibiotics... Isn't that just biotics? Like from Mass Effect? IDK, could be cool 👀
Yeah, just like anti-antifa.. 😅
It would be long overdue. The scientific consensus for vast harms from antibiotics has been strong for many years. https://humanmicrobiome.info/antibiotics/
Meh, then I guess it's time to stick with flat earth theory.. :/
Bacteriophages are a great secondary option. Similar to how bacteria quickly evolve resistance to antibiotics, bacteriophages can quickly evolve to circumvent phage resistance.
This AI thing would be excellent at hide and seek.
Does this AI use the same process for piecing together things as LLMs do for art and writing? Is this a drug we have known about but not yet applied as an antibiotic or a whole new compound?
llms have progressed beyond cut and paste way more than a year ago. they have shown understanding of what items are and how they behave and interact. I know it's popular here to call it a parrot or whatever but most people don't have access to the high level stuff and most seem afraid/snobby/parroting things themselves.
Virtual screening libraries are usually some form of expanded chemical space meaning they contain real and previously unknown compounds. The article says the 12 million compounds screened virtually were commercially available, but I couldn't see enough of the nature paper to verify. It could be that the virtual screening set was acquired from a private company, but that doesn't necessarily mean all the compounds are known.
Great. Now don't overuse it again.
