AI-ready biological data: $1.8B global commitment

Meanwhile the current administration is actively taking formerly publicly available data sets that are critical for research offline.

I’ve been toying with the idea of a SETI@Home successor that uses leftover subscription credits from the (currently) subsidized AI providers to help contribute to a collective goal like this. I wonder if there will be any opportunities to combine resources collectively like that again in the future. I built a small prototype that would let people in less-developed countries get AI responses from it for free. But it’d be super neat to work together and put our laptops and subscriptions to work on something like this.

Compute was never the primary bottleneck here. High-throughput wet-lab telemetry and standardized multi-modal ground truth are. Good to see capital flow into actual data acquisition instead of more wrapper layers.
