AlphaFold is optimization, not thinking. Propaganda 'r us.

Did you watch the documentary? Would probably fare better if you did, because it'd give you the context for the film title.

I'm an hour into it, unconvinced.

The illusion that agency 'emerges' from rules like games, is fundamentally absurd.

This is the foundational illusion of mechanics. It's UFOlogy not science.

Is there a fundamental difference between it and true agency/thought? I’m not so sure.

Agency will emerge from exceeding the bottleneck of evolution's hand-me-down tools: binary, symbols, metaphors. As long as these unconscious sportscasters for thought "explain" to us what thought "is", we are trapped. DeepMind is simply another circular hamster wheel of evolution. Just look at the status-propaganda the film heightens in order to justify the magic.
