    Why AlphaFold didn't solve protein folding, per DeepMind and Biohub

    AIDeepMind's Pushmeet Kohli and Biohub's Sal Candido explain why AlphaFold has not solved protein dynamics. They discuss why scaling compute and data alone is insufficient for biology, how protein language models encode structure, function, and evolution, and what better biological data and virtual cells could enable for 10–100x faster drug discovery.

    Journalists now have an AI reputation, and PR is tracking it

    AIFast Company reports that AI systems keep citing journalists' work, so brands should track how often AI cites their coverage, whether favorable or unfavorable. The source says this creates an opportunity for brands to pay attention, but does not specify tools, metrics, or outcomes.

    Lauren Tan argues AI agents could compress software engineering skills

    AILauren Tan (@poteto) says software engineering principles still matter but may eventually matter less as intuition fills gaps when using agents. She calls this shift "skill compression," comparing it to the first iPhone making filmmaking accessible without expensive equipment. She expects a new generation of builders who have never written code to build significant products.

    Lauren Tan proposes cutting software interviews to two technical rounds

    AILauren Tan (@poteto) says software engineering interviews could shrink to two technical rounds: a system design round that tests how clearly candidates articulate ideas and engineer solutions, and an onsite project building a real thing with agents that tests how well they turn intent into high-quality outcomes. She says the other questions traditionally asked are no longer necessary.

    IBM previews enterprise AI orchestration and sovereignty ahead of TechXchange

    AIIBM group vice president Bruno Aziza says enterprises need a platform to oversee the growing number of agents employees create across their data, applications and infrastructure. He says sovereignty requires control over data location, technology layers, operations and regulation, and IBM's Sovereign Core maps more than 200 compliance frameworks to controls. IBM TechXchange 2026 runs Oct. 26–29 in Atlanta.

    Gergely Orosz says LLM use is now required for software engineering jobs

    AIGergely Orosz says modern software engineering is no longer done without LLMs and that people who refuse AI use won't be hired at 99.9% of startups, Big Tech, and ambitious companies. He compares AI tools to the keyboard as a basic part of software development. The post quotes Geoffrey Huntley's view that teams too busy for normal work to experiment with AI are preparing to be replaced.

    Solo CTO rebuilds AQUA wallet in React Native with Claude Code

    AIJAN3 CTO Jan Ceuleers says he rebuilt the AQUA wallet from Flutter into React Native, using Claude Code for most of the coding. He started by binding GDK to a React Native app and showing a wallet balance in about half an hour, then ported the Aqua UI component library from Flutter over roughly a year of prior work.
