This is an amazing video by Emmett Short is about peptides, they are apparently easy to build with AI and a few bucks. If it is true then my goal to live to 400 years is assured. Here are some of the notes.
“LigandForge generates 150,000 peptide drug candidates in 3 minutes — a million times faster than existing methods, unlocking a tsunami of possible treatments. A man with no medical background used ChatGPT, AlphaFold, and Grok to design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine for his dying dog — and her biggest tumor shrank 75%.
“Meanwhile, scientists discovered a single protein that literally spreads aging through your bloodstream. These stories are each incredible on their own. But the big story is the implications for curing aging.
I”n this deep dive, I break down how these three breakthroughs fit together, what peptides and mRNA vaccines actually are (and how they’re different), and why this moment might be the most important inflection point in the history of drug design. The age of custom AI cures isn’t coming. It’s here.”
