Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

I try to help you think about how you’re using your attention and, thus, how to manage yourself. What you need to manage is your attention. So, when I see systemic waste of attention or weak self management practices, I try to call them out for you so you can begin to think “do I really need to do this?” If you’re spending a lot of attention and time on setting and tuning goals, and if that raises your stress level, this episode is for you. I don't think of goal setting as the ‘one treatment to rule them all’. And that there's no other way for you to motivate and manage yourself. We'll talk about some nuances of goals. Hopefully, at the end of our talk, you have some more knowledge to understand how to use goals well, as compared to blindly. Because the hype is there; there are a lot of people whose whole deal is you got to set goals, and here's how you got to do it. That the goals have to be this, that, and the other thing. I think it tends to be just a lot of overhead. The question is “does it help?” The science behind goal setting
Background science
‘Tuning’ your goals
SMART goals
So, the tenor of the discussion is around motivation
Critique of the science
Behaviorist thinking
Stimulus and response – humans, Covey, and Victor Frankl
Brain as machine
But, humans have an ego, a ‘soul’
So, I think the reporting on the science on goals is overblown
Example of intent (kids getting driver license) What would have been a good goal?
My concern is with goals as some panacea
In organizations we use management by objectives – good or bad?
Summary Surely there are better and worse ways to manage ourselves. I think that over-reliance on formal goal-setting (i.e. SMART goals) poses too many challenges, both procedural and scientific, to be the best way. But goal-setting is generally considered to be just that. If you find it stressful and unproductive in your own self-management process, you're not broken. And it's probably not that you need to learn more and do it in a more sophisticated way. I have significant doubts about the science and the practice around the idea. Instead, think about your Intent, commit to a next task to move you toward that state of the world, and manage yourself at the task level. Manage yourself and your attention with the Attention Compass process. Implementing a Tickler file is a good way to start.
