He’s more or less been spot on in the things he’s said about bio x alphafold and more recently ESMfold. Used both those technologies and they are pretty effective.

As far as timelines go - I worked with a bunch of biology researchers and found them to be slower to realize the true potential. Small sample size but the uptake is stratospheric once more people realize.
