Introduction Podcast and First Business Mistakes
Venture Step
I talk a little about myself and my mistakes in my first business, and I also go over plans for the podcast.
My name is Dalton, and I am a young entrepreneur who created a podcast to share my journey and thoughts. Before COVID-19, I had multiple show guests scheduled. COVID-19 canceled my podcast guests, unfortunately, but I am going to continue posting at least once a month with or without a guest.

In this episode, Dalton discusses two major topics: Alpha Fold 3 and Chat GPT 4.0. Alpha Fold 3 is a protein structure prediction model that uses machine learning to outperform physics-based models in drug research and DNA research. It has significant improvements over its predecessor, Alpha Fold 2, and has the potential to accelerate drug discovery and testing. Chat GPT 4.0 is a multimodal AI model that allows users to interact with chatbots using voice, vision, and screen sharing capabilities. Dalton highlights the importance of integrating AI into the human world and the commercialization opportunities for these models.
Keywords
Alpha Fold 3, Chat GPT 4.0, protein structure prediction, drug discovery, DNA research, machine learning, AI model, multimodal, commercialization
Takeaways
Alpha Fold 3 is a protein structure prediction model that outperforms physics-based models in drug research and DNA research.
Chat GPT 4.0 is a multimodal AI model that enables users to interact with chatbots using voice, vision, and screen sharing capabilities.
